Carlos Balderas: Hopes of Putting U.S.A Boxing Back on the Medal Stand (Boxing, U.S.A) – This 19-year-old lightweight boxer is a first generation Mexican-American who first stepped into a boxing gym when he was 7; since then, the sport has become his life and his dream has been to win an Olympic medal. U.S boxing has seen only one medal in the past three Olympics, but Balderas aims to change that this summer and proved his commitment for gold when he earned the first spot on this Olympic boxing team last November. You can keep up with Balderas and this Olympic team by adding U.S.A. to your ‘Favorites’ section.

Mijain Lopez: “The Terrible” (Cuba, Greco-Roman Wrestling) – Take one look at four-time world champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist Mijain Lopez and you’ll see he is built for Greco Roman dominance and brute strength. He earned the nickname “The Terrible” for his size and competitive nature on the mat. This year, Lopez has the opportunity to bring home his third consecutive gold medal and tie Aleksandr Karelin (Russia) to three gold medals in the 120kg division. Watch this unstoppable wrestler make history on the X1 Sports app and the NBC Sports app where you will be able to catch live results and scores, real-time stats and highlights of each of his matches.
