Wrestling Lee Seung-chan (28, Gangwon-do Sports Council) ended the Olympics with two games, realizing the world's wall.

Lee Seung-chan was defeated 0-9 against Iran's Amin Mirzazade in the men's Greco-Roman 130kg consolation match held at the Chandmars Arena in Paris on the 6th (Korea time).

In wrestling, if you score more than eight points, the match ends as it is. Lee Seung-chan swallowed his disappointment by losing nine points in the first half alone.

Earlier on the 5th, Lee Seung-chan lost 0-7 to Cuba's Mikhail López in the round of 16 held at the same venue. López has won four consecutive games since the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Lee Seung-chan held out against López until the end of the game, but was helpless against Mirzazade. Mirzazade was also a top-tier powerhouse, including the gold medal at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and the 2023 World Championships.
