Two-time Olympic champion in Greco-Roman wrestling Roman Vlasov in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net commented on Cuban Greco-Roman wrestler Mijaín López winning his fourth Olympic gold medal.
Roman Vlasov exclusively for Telecom Asia Sport
López is not a human being, he's an alien. I have no other explanations. A winner of four Olympic Games deserves respect and honor. Mijaín is a legend, a symbol of our sport. I met him at competitions and I was amazed at how strong and huge he is. I would like to see him continue the story. If López becomes a five-time Olympic champion, it will further promote our sport. He is a crowning jewel of the entire philosophy of the sport. An athlete like him is born once in a thousand years. Mijaín López, Aleksandr Karelin, Buvaisar Saitiev, Aleksandr Medved. I want to wish good luck and patience to López. We are waiting for him to continue his career.
Cuban wrestler Mijaín López, who competes in the super heavyweight division, is a four-time Olympic champion. The athlete won gold medals in 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020. López currently holds the most awards in Greco-Roman wrestling.
