Not sure about karate yet, it has to earn its place first. E: I would also like a mixed team event for judo, taekwondo and wrestling. I agree almost in everything, except on that mixed event.

I've read that too but women's freestyle hardly isn't popular enough yet and men's greco-roman has issues too.

I think many women would compete in both freestyle and greco-roman what is just insult to male wrestlers and other more competitive sports. Anyway, I don't think there's even World championships in women's greco-roman (?). No way they can add it any time soon, no way. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its unfair that men's categories have to suffer in the name of gender equality. There is a reason why there is no gender equality... because a lot of the women sports are not as competitive yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there is not, Women's Greco-Roman doesn't even exist. never heard a single tournament I remember even during that IOC meeting (when they re-added wrestling) they asked UWW officials about it and the Canadian girl from UWW told them women around the world didn't show interest in Greco-Roman yet.

NearPup 2,309 Posted August 21, 2016 #138 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Honestly I think it's more likely we see Greco-Roman wrestling removed to make way for more weight categories in other disciplines than to have women's Greco-Roman added.
