Wrestling is being dropped from the Olympic Games from 2020 onwards, according to reports.
Members of the International Olympic Commiittee removed wrestling from the schedule on Tuesday to make way for a new sport.
But the event could enjoy a reprieve as it now joins a short-list of sports hoping to be included in 2020.
Wrestling joins baseball and softball, squash, karate, sport climbing, wakeboarding, wushu and roller sports in pushing for a place at the Games.
