MEMORANDUM

Posted: February 20, 2013 08:55 AM
From: Representative Michael K. Hanna
To: All House members
Subject: Co-Sponsor-Opposing International Olympic Committee Wrestling Decision
 
In the coming weeks, I intend to introduce a House Resolution opposing the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision to eliminate wrestling from the 2020 Summer Olympic Games and encourage the IOC to reverse its decision.

Pennsylvania is nationally renowned for its wrestling tradition. Pennsylvania is a nation leader in amateur wrestling boasting many NCAA All-Americans, National Champions, and Olympians.

Wrestling is recognized as one of the world’s oldest competitive sports. Over 280,000 high school students in the United States alone participated in wrestling in 2012. Wrestling represents the determination and hard work it takes to succeed in life and sports.

As a wrestling enthusiast, I find this to be an important aspect of our Olympics.
