In late August, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced the suggestions of its Program Commission, which included the proposal to drop one style of wrestling from the Olympic Games.    YOU can help tell the IOC that both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling belong in the Olympic Games.    On its web page, the IOC has provided an opportunity for people to provide its opinion about the future of the Olympic Games. Please visit the following link and give the IOC your reasons to retain both wrestling styles:      http://www.suggestions.olympic.org/question-intro.aspx?LN=EN      Some information that may help you in your submission:    The exact text of the commission report follows:  "The low public and media comprehension of the differences between the two wrestling disciplines currently in the Olympic Programme were noted by the Commission, which has resulted in relatively low broadcast and press coverage. In comparison to this lack of global popularity, the Commission noted the high athlete quota and the number of events in the sport of wrestling. The Commission therefore recommends the exclusion of one of the wrestling disciplines from the Programme of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad."    Since this is why the IOC is considering cutting a wrestling style, you should tell them these truths:  * It is very easy to tell the difference between freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. In freestyle, you may use the entire body to compete, while in Greco-Roman, you may only utilize the upper body to execute holds. The styles look different, and they utilize different techniques and strategies.  * Wrestling has global popularity, with over 150 nations participating internationally.  * Both styles are popular across the world, and both styles belong in the Olympic Games.  * Wrestling receives considerable coverage in the world media. For instance, at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the most popular athlete was Greco-Roman wrestling champion Rulon Gardner of the United States, who defeated three-time Olympic Champion Alexander Kareline of Russia.   * In many nations, wrestling is the most popular and successful sport. Examples include Iran, Mongolia, Turkey and others. This has been displayed by the large number of nations that choose wrestlers to carry the national flag during Opening and Closing Ceremonies.    The decision whether or not to retain both wrestling styles will be made by the IOC Executive Board, a group of 15 IOC members, including the President, four Vice-Presidents and 10 other members. They are:    President Jacques Rogge (Belgium), Vice President Thomas Bach (Germany), Vice President James. L. Easton (United States), Vice President Richard Kevan Gosper (Australia), Vice President Vitaly Smirnov (Russian Federation), Sergey Bubka (Ukraine), Franco Carraro (Italy), Ottavio Cinquanta (Italy), Zhenliang He (People's Republic of China), Toni Khoury (Lebanon), Gunilla Lindberg (Sweden), Lambis W. Nikolaou (Greece), Denis Oswald (Switzerland), Tomas "Tommy" Amos Ganda Sithole (Zimbabwe), Mario Vázquez Raña (Mexico)    You can contact the Executive Board of the IOC at the following address:  Executive Board  Château de Vidy  1007 Lausanne  Switzerland   TELEPHONE - 011 (41.21) 621 61 11   FAX - 011 (41.21) 621 62 16     As an American citizen, you also have an opportunity to share your views with the IOC Vice-President who will serve in judgement of wrestling on the Executive Committee.
