The Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has suggested wrestling be dropped from 2020 Olympic Games.

In conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Armenian wrestling federation vice-president Hrant Yenkoyan noted that such rumors were afloat during Beijing 2008 Games.

“I don’t think such a decision will be taken due to the wrestling traditions the U.S. and European countries have,” Mr Yenkoyan said, adding that only 10 sets of medals may be awarded instead of 18.
