The prominent Cuban wrestler Luis Alberto Orta, champion of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, did not advance in the quarterfinals of the Greco-Roman wrestling competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Orta, competing in the 67 kg category, was defeated by Iranian wrestler Saeid Esmaeili with a resounding score of 0-9.
The defeat was a harsh blow for Orta, who arrived in Paris with the hope of defending his Olympic title. However, Esmaeili's superiority in the match left the Cuban without options to advance directly to the semifinals.
Despite this defeat, Orta still holds on to the hope of continuing in the competition through the repechage. This system gives him a second chance to fight for a medal, depending on the results of Esmaeili in the subsequent rounds.
Luis Alberto Orta, known for his tenacity and skills on the mat, must prepare mentally and physically to take advantage of this opportunity.
The Cuban fans are closely following Orta's performance, trusting that the Olympic champion will find the necessary strength to recover from this defeat and continue on his path to Olympic glory.
