With the Cuban wrestler Mijain López, a global reference in Greco-Roman wrestling, we began a series of interviews with the top candidates in Latin American sport at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. López will try to win his fifth gold medal in the French capital in what will be his sixth Olympic participation.
With the Cuban wrestler Minain López, the RFI sports team begins its Olympic stage in a year where the most outstanding Latin American athletes who will participate in the next Olympic games in Paris (July 26-August 11) will parade on the RFI antenna.
Mijain will be the great male reference of the Latin American delegation that will go to the French capital this summer. His 4 gold medals in the last 4 events (Bejín, London, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo) have catapulted this Cuban giant to global fame and he is considered one of the most important stars of the Parisian Olympic event.
The 5-time world champion of Greco-Roman wrestling in the heavyweight category (130Kg) confesses in this interview where he will talk about his past, his reference in one of the oldest sporting disciplines in history, his goal of breaking the mark which he holds together with the American swimmer Michael Phelps (4 gold medals in 4 different Olympic games) and of course… his farewell to the professional competition coinciding with his participation in Paris 2024.
