Tokyo Olympics: Lopez earns 4th consecutive Olympic gold

Cuban Greco-Roman wrestler Mijain Lopez has grabbed his fourth successive Olympic gold medal.

The 38-year-old beat Georgia's Iakobi Kajaia 5-nothing in the final of the 130 kg category.

Lopez had won two Olympic golds in the 120 kg category in Beijing and London and then grabbed his first gold in the 130 kg category in the 2016 Rio Games.

The Cuban legend now joins Carl Lewis, Al Oerter and swimming legend Michael Phelps in the record books.

Lopez did not rule out a bid for a record-breaking 5th gold, but he will be 41 years of age for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
