Russian biathlon world champion Anton Babikov said that in 2021 he met three-time Olympic Greco-Roman wrestling champion, Cuban Mikhain Lopez.
On Tuesday, Lopez, 41, won gold at the Paris Olympics in the 130kg weight class and became a five-time Olympic champion. He has won the Games regularly since 2008.
— In 2021, in May, we held a training camp in Bulgaria. Cuban Greco-Roman wrestlers were also preparing for the Olympics, which were postponed for a year. This man, with his casual appearance and manner, hiding his vast experience, suggested that he was a great athlete. At that time, he won three Olympics in a row, despite the fact that one defeat and you are not a champion.
A few months later, he won his fourth Olympic Games and became the greatest wrestler of all time. And now, on the eve of his 42nd birthday, he won the fifth Olympic Games in a row. Maybe the secret of his success is a T-shirt inside out? – Babikov wrote under the photo he posted on the social network.
The Paris Olympics will end on August 11.
