CHIBA, Tokyo, Aug 2 Cuba’s
Mijain Lopez signed off from his fifth Olympics with a record fourth gold medal after winning the Greco-Roman super heavyweight final on Monday, minutes after compatriot
Luis Alberto Orta won gold in the bantamweight category.
Lopez, who made his Olympic debut in 2004 and is the first male wrestler to win four Olympic golds, was calm and composed in his bout against Georgia’s
Iakobi Kajaia, who took silver.
Lopez became the fifth person to ever win four straight gold medals in the same individual event.
At Rio 2016, Lopez celebrated with a salsa-infused, hip-shimmy dance but this time the 38-year-old settled for tackling his coach who had sprinted onto the mat with the Cuban flag.
