Wrestling retains its status for 2020 Olympics, gets 49 votes in IOC meet Wrestling completed an unprecedented Olympic comeback on Sunday, reclaiming its spot in the 2020 Olympic Games after beating bids from rivals squash and baseball/softball in an International Olympic Committee vote. An iconic Olympic sport, wrestling featured in the ancient Olympics as well as every modern Games apart from 1900. Yet it surprisingly lost its Olympic spot in February as the IOC looked to refresh its sports programme. It is the first sport to earn back its Olympic place immediately, with all other returning events taking years or decades to make a comeback.
