The Cuban wrestler, Mijaín López, just achieved an impressive sports milestone. López has won his 5th consecutive gold medal in Greco-Roman wrestling in five consecutive Olympic Games.
In Tokyo, when López won the title for the fourth time, he said, "I have to thank our Commander in Chief and the Cuban Revolution for this result."
On August 14, 1971, Fidel Castro said in a tribute to the Athletes of the Cuban Sports Delegation: “Some people say that Cuba uses sports as an instrument of politics. And it is exactly the other way around: politics is an instrument of sport. That is to say, sport is not a means, but an end, as a human activity, as any activity that has to do with the human being and human welfare; just as education, culture, health, material living conditions, human dignity, feelings and spiritual values of man, are precisely the objectives of politics.”
