No doubt. Hanckock will probably win his 5th in LA but those sports cant compare.

So, something that will be known in 23rd century has just been made.

His shoes are off the mat now, who stole them and where can I get them?

Which would be impressive beyond words, but somehow just really doesn't come close to this in terms of feeling

in wrestling (specially in my country) when you reach 30 people talk about your retirement , winning Olympic gold at the age of 42 in such a tough sport is beyond unbelievable.

 

I think all super heavyweight wrestlers were relieved when he left his shoes on the mat, which means someone else finally can win the olympic gold

Although keep in mind by the time we get to 2027, I'll be asking you about the chances of him competing in LA  

 

Still would not be surprised if suddenly he's there again

This has been dragging sooooo much. I thought by now they would have finished, since it started 3 hours ago, but there is still another 3 medal matches. Now it's going to overlap with boxing. I hate the schedule this week...

Thank Lopez for making history, because that's why we had to wait ages for all interested 1976 Olympic fencing champions to have arrived
