01:16Mijaín López is tied with the Japanese Kaori Icho,
01:20who also won four consecutive titles between 2004 and 2016.
01:26Icho was about to lose his chain in Rio de Janeiro,
01:29but in the final ten seconds he beat his Russian rival Koulova.
01:34He was undefeated for 13 years in the World Cup.
01:38Will Mijaín overcome her?
01:40Another wrestler who will arrive looking for her fifth Olympic title is the Sepayan Maria Stani,
01:46only that she has never won a crown in summer queues, plus two silver and two bronze.
01:52So the legend, the legend has a name, Mijaín López.
01:58Who were his main rivals in previous Olympic dates?
