Wrestling considers changing singlet for Olympics
LONDON (AP) — Kicked out of the Olympics and desperately trying to get back in, wrestling hopes a wardrobe change will wow those set to rule on the sport's fate.
The acting head of wrestling's governing body said Friday the federation is negotiating with manufacturers to produce a new singlet — the skimpy sleeveless T-shirt worn by competitors — that will reduce sweat and look different for Greco-Roman and freestyle events.
It's a sign of how far the sport is ready to go to regain its spot in the Olympics after being cut from the 2020 Games last month by the IOC executive board.
