Wrestling, which was due to be cut from the Games after 2016 has been re-instated for 2020 and 2024.
The result of the secret ballot showed it received 49 votes, more than the combined totals for Baseball/Softball (24) and Squash (22).
The federation finally got its house in order after numerous warnings about their operations, administration, rules and gender equity - re-inforcing the idea that excluding wrestling was really just a ploy to get them the straighten up.
Now it will interesting to see if there is any effect on the voting for the new President as a result of the votes for Tokyo and Wrestling.
