L. Álvarez Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

Mijain Lopez of Cuba took home gold in the men’s Greco-Roman super heavyweight division on Monday at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Mijain Lopez of Cuba won the Greco-Roman 130-kilogram final with a 5-0 shutout of Iakobi Kajaia of Georgia to set a new Olympic record for most wrestling gold medals won by a single athlete.

During his four games, the 38-year-old allowed no goals. In doing so, he joins Japanese wrestler Kaori Icho as the only athletes in history to win four Olympic wrestling gold medals.

Icho has been a freestyle swimming sensation, bringing home gold in 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016. Gold medals in 2008 and 2012 at 120 kg, and in 2016 at 130 kg, preceded Lopez’s triumph on Monday.

After Kajaia penalised Lopez one point for inactivity, Lopez responded with a two-point gut wrench. In addition to his 4-0 lead, he took a step out and scored two more points.

Silver went to Georgia’s Iakobi Kajaia, bronze to Turkey’s Riza Kayaalp, and fourth place to Russia’s Sergei Semenov of the Russian Olympic Committee.
