EVENING sports fans. My name is Tom Robinson.
Amateur wrestling has had a rollercoaster of a year in 2013.
It all started when the International Olympics Committee decided to drop the sport as an olympic sport for the 2016 games in Rio, Brazil.
However, on September 8th 2013 the sport was given a second chance when it defeated the likes of squash, karate and roller sports to recieve entry into the 2020 and 2024 games as an olympic sport.
I went to Stockton Wrestling Club, which is one of few amateur wrestling clubs left in the North-East.
It is has been around for 20 years and has produced wrestlers that have competed on a national scale and even beyond.
