    Lopez wins his 5th gold in his 6th Olympics in heavyweight Greco-Roman wrestling. What an absolute titan. 6-0 in the final, barely broke a sweat all tournament. Apparently lost almost 30kg to get back to match weight for this comeback too.

    Bows out on the absolute top, leaving his shoes in the ring as he finally retires. What phenomenal images, what a moment again at this incredible Olympics.
