jeffr_ideal 216 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 Suprised that they did not have the photo of Burroughs and Ghadarzi arm and arm. Also kind of suprised it was so focused on North America to be honest. Not a lot of Russian or Iranian involvement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sockobuw 49 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 Q&A looks good for wrestling. lots of interest..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scribe 1,845 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 Answer session just veered off a bit in terms of quality. It was good at first, but the longer this lard keeps talking, the worse it looks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gimpeltf 2,084 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 Didn't at all understand the last answer although I wasn't sure I understood the question either. Rules of the Federation. I think Lalovic may have thought he meant sports rules, I thought the question referred to bylaws of the federation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sockobuw 49 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 too many questions to keep track of.... would have been better served to address each one as they were asked. other sports had very few questions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vhsalum 43 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 Not going to lie. I feel for squash. In no way should wrestling have been dropped from the core program... Â Oh wait, yes it should have. Because the same persons who dropped the ball, are the same persons trying to put a spit shine on it now. Â The fight now, is to return as a core sport. Squash isn't going anywhere.

scribe 1,845 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 Keep wrestling and add squash. No brainer decision. Adding programs that bring butts in the seats shouldn't make or break at host city's ability to provide for the addition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnklePicker 649 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 Squash had less votes than baseball/softball. While this is obviously great news it is without question very bitter sweet. Dropping to 6 weights IMO may be worse for wrestling than being out of the Olympics. At least in my mind it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josefsmoe 43 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 Watching the decision live and what a relief. Even shed a few tears, but for wrestling it was worth it. So now to the FILA thing, lets not forget that serious changes are still needed and the wrestling community needs to maintain this huge push for reformation.
