Shoes on the mat to signal retirement is one of the coolest traditions in any sport
-
To put into perspective his dominance. He hadn't allowed a point since 2008. That was 16 years without even allowing a point until now where he allowed two passivity point in Paris. He also hadn't competed since 2022. Comes to Paris at 41 years old (He will be 42 in 2 weeks) and wins his 5 straight gold. The goat
-
Total domination. One of the most underrated Olympians ever.
-
Not swimming, track, or gymnastics with dozens of events to medal. Just 1 event opportunity over 5 Olympic cycles, sheer dominance for nearly a quarter century, then leaves shoes on the mat. Greatest Olympian ever.
-
His tiny little coach in tears!! I can’t!! That was so sweet!!!🥹
-
Do you guy's realize this accomplishment puts him up there with Alex Kerhalin. As good as he was, I think after the 5th gold we can call this man Lopez the greatest Olympics wrestler of all time.
-
What people maybe don’t know is he won bronze in Athens 2004, so he won medals in 6 Olympic Games 💪💪
-
it's amazing to see such a small country being represented this way. greatest to ever exist!
-
Shoes on mat, icon Paris Olympic moment. Coach crying as they walk off mat, priceless
-
For 20 years he's been the best at what he does in the world! In the entire world. Wow
-
This is one of the best videos NBC Sports has done. Thank Goodness. They keep clipping these things short.
-
Competing at 1 Olympic games is a huge accomplishment. Competing at 5 Olympic games is crazy. Winning any medal at 5 Olympic games is insane. Winning the gold at 5 Olympic games is absolutely mental.
-
No one was EVER close. The ultimate GOAT. Total and complete domination for over 2 decades. Rest well.
-
Seeing his coach crying at the end got me! Such a great moment.
-
This has to be in the top five in the Olympics history. What a true warrior.
-
As a Cuban this gave me tears towards the end. We are all, especially the Cuban community proud of Mijain Lopez!! Arriba Cuba!!!!
-
Seeing his coach crying as they were leaving the mat was very emotional. Truly a great moment.
-
Worthy of the Ancient Greek heroes. The best of all time.
-
Missed seeing this on Live TV. His story is great. We need a documentary about him and it better go big. And release in AMC Theaters and every theater in the world and it could win an Oscar
-
Cool that a respected friend was his final opponent. And he got a medal too.
