May is a critical month for the sport of wrestling.
The International Olympic Committee Executive Board will meet May 29-31 in St. Petersburg, Russia. On Wednesday, May 29, wrestling, with its top representatives from across the world, will be one of eight sports, making a case to be included in the Olympic Programme in 2020.
In February, the IOC suggested wrestling be dropped as a core sport of the Olympic Games.
This video produced by Wrestling With Iowa, a project directed by Tim Jackson, of Ohio, is a persuasive look at why wrestling is important and should remain in the Olympics.
