Is Rio ready for wrestlers?
April 14, 2016

 

This past weekend, a number of U.S. wrestlers qualified for the 2016 Olympics ... but a critical question some experts are asking is: Is host city Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ready for them?

Wrestlers take to the mat at the 2016 Summer Games in about four months (starting August 14). The good news for grapplers is that the venue for wrestling -- Olympic Hall 2 -- is reportedly already in a position to welcome approximately 350 freestyle and Greco-Roman competitors from around the world. However, the 2016 Olympics as a whole -- along with their host city, and country -- face incredible obstacles that already have made news well beyond South America.
