Including most of the Winter Olympics.
- IncreasePosts 2y agoThere's no such thing as grandfathered in, events are we considered every olympics. Just because there is no world where the 400 m sprint will be removed does that mean it is grandfathered in. Wrestling was almost removed from the Olympics a few years ago. Which is one of the actual events from the ancient olympics.
