LONDON -- Wrestlings governing body has "reacted well" and made the necessary changes to give the sport a chance of saving its place in the Olympics, IOC President Jacques Rogge said. In an interview with The Associated Press, Rogge said FILA has tackled the issues that led the IOC executive board in February to remove wrestling from the list of core sports for the 2020 Games. "I think they had the good answer and the good reaction," he said. "They obviously were taken a bit by a surprise by the fact they could leave the core group." Rogge praised the measures approved by FILA at its congress in Moscow last weekend, including rule changes to make matches more compelling and the inclusion of women and athletes in decision-making positions. Wrestling is now competing with seven other sports for a single spot on the 2020 program. The IOC board meets in St. Petersburg, Russia, next week and will recommend one sport or a shortlist of sports for a vote by the full IOC in September. "The federation definitely understood the reasons why they were ousted, and they reacted what they normally should have done," Rogge said. "They did a good job on that, so well see what the judgment is of the executive board on all of the eight sports but definitely I would say that wrestling has reacted well. "That does not guarantee a spot in the shortlist or the single presentation. It was at least the minimum they could do and they did it. They have addressed the shortcomings. That was a good reaction." Wrestling, which dates back to the ancient Olympics, remains on the sports lineup for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. The new sports seeking inclusion in 2020 are squash, wakeboarding, karate, wushu, roller sports and a combined baseball-softball bid. They will all make presentations to the IOC board next Wednesday in St. Petersburg. "Then well have a debate whether the executive board will present one single sport to the session or whether the executive board would prefer to present a shortlist to the IOC session," Rogge said. The board members will vote by secret ballot on which sport or sports to submit to the IOC assembly in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Sept. 8. There has been widespread speculation in Olympic circles that the board will recommend a list of three or four sports, including wrestling. "My position is very clear," Rogge said. "Everything will happen on merit and respecting the rights of the federations." FILA on Thursday announced the names of the five panelists who will make the presentation to the IOC: FILA President Nenad Lalovic; Jim Scherr, a former wrestler and ex-CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee; Canadian freestyle wrestler Carol Huynh, gold medallist at the 2008 Beijing Games and bronze winner at the 2012 London Olympics; Lise Legrand, vice-president of the French wrestling federation and 2004 bronze medallist ; and Daniel Igali, a Nigerian-born Canadian gold medallist in Sydney in 2000. "These five panelists are representative of the passion, dedication and diversity of wrestlings athletes and fans around the world," Lalovic said. The IOC decision in February to drop wrestling led to the resignation of FILA president Raphael Martinetti. Lalovic, who took over in an interim capacity, was elected fulltime president at last Saturdays congress in Moscow. Lalovic "understood there were shortcomings both in governance but also in presentation and appeal of the sport in terms of clarity of the rules of competition and a whole range of issues that they had to change," Rogge said. Under changes approved in Moscow, matches will consist of two 3-minute sessions instead of three 2-minute periods, and scoring will be cumulative instead of the previous two-out-of-three system. FILA also changed its constitution to include a female vice-president. "They will have an athletes commission they did not have," Rogge said. "They will have women on board the executive board which they did not have. They will change the length of bouts to make it more clear for the public on the counting of the points. There are also a lot of technical rules that are going to be associated."Wholesale Ray Ban Store . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams.

Instead, Todd Bowles bumbling bunch is looking likely to land a top-5 pick in the NFL draft.Were 3-7, Bowles said. Were not even thinking playoffs. Were trying to get to four wins.In what is shaping up as a dismal season, high expectations have quickly given way to modest goals.We have a lot to play for: each other, pride, Wilkerson said. We just have to make sure we stay confident. We cant get down on ourselves here.The Jets are taking their bye-week break, and the sputtering squad can certainly use it. General manager Mike Maccagnan said this week that we all need to do better at our jobs in order to get things turned in a positive direction.That includes Bowles, who has been increasingly criticized for his in-game decisions and the growing perception things are going awry behind closed doors at the Jets facility. The fact he had to bench Wilkerson and Richardson for a quarter for being late to a team meeting has only increased the spotlight on the coach.I think Todd is going to be a very good head coach in this league, Maccagnan said, and I think hes doing a good job now.But the defense, Bowles bread and butter, is hardly dominant, with the line not performing up to lofty expectations and the secondary having trouble shutting down anyones passing game.Wilkerson got a five-year, $86 million contract in the offseason, but has just 2 1/2 sacks. The missed walkthrough practice and late arrivals for meetings arent a good look for a player expected to be a leader.The same goes for Richardson, who was the subject of trade rumors at the deadline. He has 1 1/2 sacks.Then, theres Revis, once the gold standard for shutdown cornerbacks. But now, Revis Island is no more , with age and injuries turning him from great to just OK -- a stunningly quick decline for one of the top players in franchise history.There are glitches in his play, but he has played very well at times this year, Maccagnan said. We hhave six games to go.dddddddddddd Well see how the season progresses, and well evaluate it at the end of the season.The brunt of the blame, however, falls on the shoulders of Fitzpatrick.The veteran QB was re-signed on the eve of training camp to a one-year, $12 million deal that ended a long contract stalemate. After throwing for a franchise-record 31 touchdowns last season, Fitzpatrick appeared the perfect fit for New York as the would-be catalyst for a team coming off a 10-6 season, missing the postseason by one win.Instead, Fitzpatrick leads the NFL with 13 interceptions and has already been benched once. A sprained knee opened the door for Bryce Petty , and now Bowles is left with trying to determine which of the two will give the Jets a better chance to win.That seems inconceivable when less than four months ago, the organization was breathing a sigh of relief because of Fitzpatricks return . Now, its possible he has thrown his last pass with the Jets -- if they decide to give Petty a six-game audition for the job and look to the future.Thats not why any of us are here in the locker room, Fitzpatrick said. Were not here to think about anything other than winning football games. Were here to win.Marshalls production has fallen off in a big way as a result of Fitzpatricks struggles. He has also been affected by the loss of fellow wide receiver Eric Decker , whos out for the season after having shoulder and hip surgeries.Marshall set team records with 109 catches and 1,502 yards receiving while also tying the mark with 14 touchdown grabs. This season, he has 43 catches for 601 yards and two TDs, and hasnt gotten into the end zone since Oct. 9 against Pittsburgh.Frustration and failure have marked New Yorks first 10 games. The last six? Well, the Jets insist they wont crawl to the finish line.I think when you look at it, were not like, `Oh, gosh, the season is over, Maccagnan said. We have six games left. So, we have a little over a third of the season left to go. And were focused on trying to be as competitive as we can be and win as many games as we can.
