Notes

Tokyo 2020, wrestling outfit worn by Mijain LÓPEZ NÚÑEZ (CUB), Olympic champion. Cuba’s Mijain López entered the Greco-Roman wrestling and Olympic history books when he won his fourth gold medal in the 130kg category. There are very few people who have won gold four consecutive times in the same event at the Olympic Games. These include Carl Lewis (long jump), Al Oerter (discus) and Michael Phelps (4x200m freestyle relay). Donated by the athlete
