AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution, titled "Wrestling: Olympic Games," is a formal expression from the California Legislature urging the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to keep wrestling as a core sport in the Olympic Games. The resolution highlights wrestling's rich history, dating back to ancient Greece, its global diversity and inclusivity, and its role in building character and providing opportunities for athletes, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds and with disabilities. It also emphasizes wrestling's significant presence and popularity in California, noting the state's leadership in athlete participation and hosting major wrestling events. The resolution was prompted by the IOC Executive Board's initial decision to remove wrestling from the list of core sports for the 2020 Olympic Games, a decision that was not yet final and was subject to further voting by the IOC in later 2013 meetings.
