In men's Greco-Roman 130kg final at Paris 2024, Lopez beat his Chilean opponent Yasmani Acosta Fernandez 6-0 to bag gold at five consecutive Summer Games.
Lopez, who will turn 42 on Aug. 20, previously won Olympic golds at Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016, and Tokyo 2020.
Following his victory at the Paris 2024, Lopez became the first athlete to secure five gold medals in the same event.
The Paris 2024 has entered its final week as the Summer Games will end on Sunday.
