Book Description:
On Tuesday, Feb. 12 the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee recommended wrestling be eliminated from the 2020 Olympic Games. The wrestling world was outraged, and by Wednesday wrestling leadership around the world had responded to their sport's elimination by creating what would become the largest sport-reinstatement campaign in Olympic history.
Written by international wrestling journalist T.R. Foley, Full Circle is an up-close history of wrestling's fight for Olympic reinstatement. In addition to giving readers insight about the American-lead effort to Save Olympic Wrestling, Full Circle pays close attention to the efforts of Nenad Lalovic, the polyglot Serbian businessman tasked with improving the international governing body of wrestling, known as FILA. Lalovic, along with the support of wrestling federations from the United States, Russia, Iran, Japan and dozens more, helps craft what will become one of the most effective and inspiring media-savvy campaigns in Olympic history.
