The sport - one of the original disciplines at the Ancient Olympics - had been dropped from the 2020 Olympic programme in February after the IOC assessed the performance of all 26 sports at London 2012.
It was re-instated this morning after International Olympic Committee (IOC) members conducted a secret electronic ballot on the issue in Buenos Aires.
Wrestling - which was the favourite - received a majority of 49 votes, while a combined baseball/softball bid got 24 votes and squash 22.
