Olympic wrestler is so mad his sport got dropped, he'll eat only syrup

Everyone is bummed out about wrestling's harsh boot from the Olympics, but not everyone's drinking nothing but syrup until the sport comes back. Then again, not everyone is the chiseled two-time Greco-Roman gold champ Armen Nazaryan, who boldly announced he will subsist merely on syrup until the fate of his beloved event is restored to proper health. The dramatic hunger strike by the Armenian-born athlete, who also competed for Bulgaria, is a protest against a recommendation by the International Olympic Committee to remove wrestling, beginning with the 2020 Summer Games. The committee's executive board will next meet in May to discuss details, which will be put to a vote in September in Buenos Aires. [Source]
