United World Wrestling (UWW) has announced the names of the Greco-Roman wrestlers who will take part in Paris 2024.

The heavyweight (-130kg) category was one of the most interesting, with everyone expecting the return of the king - four-time Olympic champion Mijain Lopez from Cuba. Lopez had announced his participation in his sixth Olympic Games and his name was on the list published by the UWW on 9 July.

Despite defectors, Cuba aspires to be included in the top 20 of the medal table in Paris 2024 although they are one of the smallest delegations in its Olympic history, with the hope placed on the fighter Mijaín López who seeks his fifth consecutive gold.

Cuba's Mijain Lopez is fighting to make history in his quest for a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal. If he succeeds, he will enter the Olympic pantheon as the only wrestler to achieve this feat at the Summer Games.

Olympic legends Eliud Kipchoge and Mijaín López were among the winners at the seventh edition of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) Awards here today as stars of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were honoured.

Cuba’s Mijaín López emulated Japanese women’s great Kaori Icho as he earned a stylish victory over Georgian Iakobi Kajaia to become the first male wrestler in history to win four Olympic gold medals.

Cuban Mijaín López will hope for a place in history at Tokyo 2020 by becoming the first male wrestler to win four Olympic gold medals.

Cuban wrestling legend Mijaín López has announced he will retire after his bid to make history at Tokyo 2020.

Mijaín López became only the third wrestler in history to win four Pan American Games gold medals after the Cuban superstar delivered a masterclass in the men's under 130 kilograms Greco-Roman wrestling final today.
