Mihain López (Cuba) – Greco-Roman wrestling
The heavyweight giant did something that no other fighter in the world will be able to repeat for a long time: he became a five-time Olympic champion. Mikhain did not lose at the Olympics for 16 years and has now finally given up the sport.
Why Lopez’s achievement is unique:
Event of the century at the Olympic Games! The Cuban giant did what no one else can do

Novak Djokovic (Serbia) – tennis
The man who “passed” tennis. The last boss, the Olympic Games, was not given to him for a long, long time, and in Paris there was one last attempt. This time, the great Nole succeeded and will soon hang up his racket.
The whole world was worried about Djokovic:
“King, Superman, Greatest!” World reacts violently to Djokovic’s Olympic gold

Mirra Andreeva and Diana Schneider (Russia) – tennis
In tennis, Russia had a good chance of winning a medal, but reaching the final happened where nobody expected. And even though Mirra and Diana lost the battle for gold, for our fans they are heroes.
For Russia it was a particular success:
Schneider and Andreeva did not win gold, but they gave a feeling of life. It is much more expensive

Armand Duplantis (Sweden) – athletics
Winning the Olympics without competition is a top-notch feat. And setting a world record at the Games in order: space. It is towards this space that Arman moves away from everyone every time. There is no doubt that this was not his last world record.
Duplantis is a genius. There are no others like him:
The brightest moment of the Paris Olympics. Duplantis won gold with a world record!

Leon Marchand (France) – swimming
Leon delighted his home fans, who flocked to the pool stands to watch his victories. One day he won two finals at the same time. Four-time Olympic champion: what more does one need to be happy?
There is no one cooler than Marchand in France:
Four golds in one week. Here he is, the main hero of the Paris Olympics.

LeBron James (USA) – basketball
The leader of the American basketball team did not disappoint. The pressure on the Stars and Stripes was enormous; it was impossible to lose, and LeBron, in difficult moments, took control of the game and saved the situation. The result is gold at the Games.
LeBron did something incredible at the Olympics:
King? No, LeBron James is a god

Teddy Riner (France) – judo
Riner is now the judoka with the most titles in history. And perhaps all of France will remember his “golden” throw in the team championship. The intensity of the passions was prohibitive, but Riner managed to overcome it and win his fifth gold.
Riner made the whole country happy:
France is going crazy for the Olympic judo finals. This story will definitely be made into a movie!

Katie Ledecky (USA) – swimming
At 60, Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina was the only nine-time Olympic champion in history. And now her record has been repeated! Moreover, Ledecky will probably have a chance to win a historic tenth gold.
The American repeated the great record:
The American repeated the legendary record of the Soviet champion. It took 60 years!
