New Japanese Art?

Late last year I was shocked to discover that the ancient art of man - wrestling - was to be dropped from the Olympics. Whether you like it or not, of all the sports, it is wrestling that spans the ages across all cultures.

This would be great - elite athletes popping up behind seats in the stands. Oh look there is one behind the results board.

Wrestling is a shame but hide and seek beats so many.
