The announcement comes as bad news for the Greco-Roman wrestlers as they will miss out on the tournament. Reportedly, there is a chance that classical wrestling might get excluded from the Olympics programme.

WrestlingUA, a Russian news daily had quoted the President of Wrestling Federation of Azerbaijan Namik Aliyev who is also the member of United World Wrestling (UWW) saying “it is possible that ‘Greco-Roman wrestling will no longer be in the Olympic Games program’. Reportedly, the step is being taken to promote beach wrestling”.

But why is Greco Roman wrestling being omitted?

Although UWW has not yet commented on the subject, Dagestan Wrestling quoted Aliyev saying “Apparently, the Greco-Roman style will come out of the program of the Olympics-2024. We have been declaring our athletes to compete in beach wrestling for several years. Last year we won two medals at the World Games. Oyan Nazariani became the world champion. From now on, we will strengthen this type of martial art”.
