Should Mijaín López give it another go in 2028?

[mspart]

The dude has wrestled 2 tourneys in the last 8 years and won them both - and those were the Olympics.   Should he do nothing for another 3 years and try for an unprecedented 6 golds?   I think he could do it.

born in 1982 - would make him 45 -

father time didn't seem to hamper him this go around but LA in 2028 is a long way off

yeah I agree.   2028 is a ways off but wouldn't that be something?   He would establish himself as the real GOAT, not that he isn't now.

Hell Yeah. Keep coming back until somebody beats you!

That is what Karelin thought too.   He didn't like the outcome.

How does Cuba select its reps?

I think it's a "If Mijain wants it Mijain gets it process - If I'm not mistaken the guy he beat for the Gold this past year had left Cuba to compete for Chile so he could get a shot at wrestling.
