Havana: Thousands of Cubans on Monday night welcomed home the island's Paris 2024 team led by five-time Olympic gold wrestling champion Mijain Lopez.
A bus carrying the team drove through the streets of the capital Havana to the La Piragua plaza on the Malecon waterfront esplanade, where people were waiting at midnight to greet them.
Upon arrival, Lopez, 41, took to the stage with his two sons and other members of the sports delegation to greet the crowd attending a salsa concert in their honour.
"We are happy to arrive here ... happy with the welcome, it has been incredible since we got off the plane," said the Greco-Roman wrestling legend, who had retired after the 2021 Tokyo Games before returning to the sport to achieve his landmark triumph.
