As you know, wrestling has been left out from the next Olympics because of its unpopularity.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/olympics--ioc-s-poor-decision-to-add-golf-costs-wrestling-its-spot-in-olympics-201325406.html

So the article claims that gold is a sport which is likely to take its place. But there are other alternatives:

If you could choose another sport to take place instead of wrestling, which sport would you choose?
And do you agree with wrestling being left out?

It is a total pity, as the IOC is just reflecting the commercial aspect of the Olympics instead of its tradition and meaning. Too bad!

But if I could choose, I'd go for kung-fu. It's a hard and entertaining discipline to see and learn, it deserves to be called a 'discipline', without underestimating the other sports and how demanding they are. Razz
