No Summer Olympian has ever won gold medals in the same individual event five consecutive times. No wrestler has ever won five gold medals. All that could change in Paris. And the man sniffing at the record is Mijain LOPEZ (CUB).
The man they fondly call ‘Gigante de Herradura’ and ‘El Terrible’ currently holds the record of winning the same individual Olympic event four times along with swim legend Michael Phelps, track hero Carl Lewis, the American discus throw hero Al Oerter, the sailor from Denmark Paul Elvstrom and Kaori ICHO (JPN) who, like Lopez, has four gold medals.

Mi • Nearly 15,000 residents - around 10,500 of which are athletes - will be cramming into the Olympic village between July 26 and August 11. To ensure the athletes feel at home, a number of provisions have been made by organisers. One of these is the stocking of some 300,000 condoms, in theory enough for around two every day during the run of the Games. A number of Olympic athletes have opened the door on their steamy lives behind-the-scenes when in camp, including huge sex orgies and parties. London 2012 had claimed the title of "the raunchiest Games ever", but the 150,000 condoms ordered paled in comparison to the 450,000 ordered for the Rio Games four years later. Condoms have been laid on by organisers at every game since Seoul 1988, when it they were used to spread awareness of HIV and AIDS.
