Wrestling at theOlympic Games was contested at the firstmodern Olympics, in the form ofGreco-Roman wrestling, held inAthens in1896. Wrestling would appear at every Summer Olympics held since then, with the exception of the1900 Summer Olympics when wrestling did not appear on the program.Freestyle wrestling (orcatch-as-catch-can wrestling as it was called prior to the 1924 Summer Olympics^[1]) and weight classes both made their first appearance at the1904 Summer Olympics. Women's freestyle wrestling competition was first held at the2004 Summer Olympics.

In 2013, the IOC voted to drop wrestling from the Summer Olympic program. The president of the sport's governing body, FILA (nowUnited World Wrestling), resigned after a subsequentmotion of no confidence, and several of the FILA leadership followed suit. After new leadership stepped in and revisions to the program for the2016 Summer Olympics (including rule changes and additional women's competitions), wrestling successfully campaigned to be readmitted back onto the Summer Olympic program.

Removal and reinstatement

[edit]

In an effort to control the size and costs of the Summer Olympics, and make the Games "relevant to sports fans of all generations", the IOC evaluated the Olympic event programme in place for the2016 Summer Olympics, and voted on 25 "core" sports that would comprise the programme of the2020 Summer Olympics (which was postponed to 2021 due to theCOVID-19 pandemic).^[2] One vacancy was to be left open for a new sport. In February 2013, IOC members voted to remove wrestling from the Olympic programme;The New York Times cited several potential factors in the decision, including the lack of universally-known talent unlike other sports, and concern for the lack of women's competitions in wrestling (having only introduced women's freestyle competitions in 2004). FILA (nowUnited World Wrestling), the governing body of Olympic wrestling, immediately criticized the decision. The organization cited wrestling's long-standing history as an Olympic event, which dates as far back as theancient Olympic Games.^[3]^[4]^[5]

The decision resulted in immediate backlash;Armen Nazaryan andSagid Murtazaliev both returned gold medals to the IOC in protest, while Nazaryan also staged ahunger strike until the2013 European Wrestling Championships.^[6] FILA president Raphaël Martinetti resigned after a vote of non-confidence by the organization's staff.^[7]

Martinetti was replaced as acting president byNenad Lalović. Under his leadership, the organization began to make changes to its Olympic programme for 2016, including rule changes designed to make bouts faster and encourage more aggression, as well as additional women's weight classes. These changes were intended to help improve audience interest, and address the shortcomings that likely led to the removal of the sport; wrestling joinedbaseball/softball, as well assquash, on a final shortlist of three sports to be included in the core Olympic programme for 2020.^[3] On 8 September 2013, at the125th IOC Session, the IOC selected wrestling to be reinstated in the Olympic program for 2020 and2024.^[8]^[9] Lalović was largely credited for his role in the reinstatement; he remarked that "normally this is done in a few years, we did it in a few months. It was a question of our survival."^[10]^[11]
