Author's Note: This piece is a persuasive piece on why the I.O.C should keep wrestling in the Olympics. In this I was looking to have good word choice and comma use.
The sport of wrestling originated since prehistoric times.
It was the first sport known to man. Not only was it a sport that started the
Olympics but it has formed many cultures throughout the world. Taking this sport out of the 2020
Olympics was a choice made by the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday,
February 12, 2013. Not only did this
decision effect many people’s favorite sport, but it ruined many people’s hopes
and dreams.
This past summer I spent a lot of time watching the 2012
London Olympics. Watching the Olympics
is like watching something you’ve never seen before its where dreams and goals
can be achieved or hearts can be broken. Among all of these sports in the
Olympics wrestling is my favorite. It is
one of the hardest sports and may be the most technical sport. It is made up of
grappling, take downs, locks and pins. Every wrestler has their own way of
wrestling in mans oldest sport.
In the sport of wrestling there is no professional level.
This means that many people strive to make it to the Olympics. Without
wrestling in the Olympics it will affect the sport in the many different
levels. When collage wrestling is over what is next for the wrestlers? What
about the Olympic training centers or the workers who work at those places they
will all lose their jobs. This will also affect many countries like Turkey or
Iran where most of their lives revolve around the sport.
I know that Olympic wrestling doesn’t pull in enough money
for the I.O.C, but they need to look at the big picture and how many people this
decision will effect. Not only will it be the wrestlers ,but the people and
countries that revolve around the sport.
