Greece fights to keep ancient sport of wrestling in Olympics



Balkans.com Business News Correspondent - 15.02.2013

Greece‘s wrestling federation on Wednesday slammed a decision by the International Olympic Committee to cut the ancient sport from the Olympics reports Europe Online.
"The gentlemen of the IOC have decided the kill the Olympic spirit," said the President of the Greek wrestling federation, Kostas Thanos on Greek state television.
"The leadership of the IOC have so little to do with the Olympic spirit that they do not even know that wrestling is mentioned in their own Olympic anthem in the second verse ... when running, wrestling and throwing," said Thanos.
"If wrestling is abolished then they should also do away with the Olympic rings or even the name Olympic Games and instead rename the event - Business Games," he added.
The IOC executive board was meeting to review the 26 sports on its summer programme in order to cut one of them so it could add one later this year.
