This was always one of the highlights of the Summer Games for me. I grew up competing in the sport and it gave me so much in terms of confidence, perseverance, camaraderie, etc. As much as I'd like to assign blame to some committee, the rules of the sport, particularly Freestyle, have changed so much since '96 and made it harder to watch as a fan. Probably contributed to its poor ratings as well.
Still the oldest and greatest sport though.
