One final of predictions for you, and it is Wrestling. No, not the people in flamboyant costumes answering to names like “The Rock” or “Roman Reigns”. They are great athletes but, with the exception of Kurt Angle, not really Olympic standard wrestlers.
There are two forms of wrestling at the Olympics – Freestyle, which both Men and Women compete at and Greco-Roman, at which only Men take part.
I’ll be honest, the reason I left these predictions for last is two-fold. Firstly, the Wrestling programme starts relatively late in the schedule. Secondly, I don’t know very much about Wrestling. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that it is pretty much the only sport that I think I could say I know nothing about. So whilst I recommend you take all my predictions with a grain of salt, these I would recommend taking with an entire mountain of the stuff. Still, for the sake of completeness, here they are.
