Mijain Lopez kept his record bid for a fourth Olympics title alive as he saw the back of Turkey’s Riza Kayaalp in the semi-final. Lopez, who has won the super heavyweight title at the last three Olympics, brushed aside Romania’s Alin Alexuc Ciurariu 9-0 and Iran’s Amin Mirzazadeh 8-0 to reach the semi-finals and will be aiming to become the first four-time Olympic champion in Greco-Roman wrestling.
