LONDON, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- China's all three Greco-Roman wrestlers ended their London Olympics games without any medals at ExCeL on Tuesday.

Chinese big name Li Shujin, the bronze medalist of 2011 world championship, claimed 7th place after losing in the repechage to Mingiyan Semenov from Russia in the men's 55kg Greco-Roman wrestling

On his Olympic experience, Li said, "It was a great experience out there for me. The result is OK, I tried my best. I'm very proud to fight for China and I'm really happy to meet so many highly ranked opponents."

In 60kg and 120kg Greco-Roman the next day, Chinese wrestlers Sheng Jiang and Liu Deli both lost in the qualifications.

Sheng who finally ranked 10th place spoke highly of his opponet Noroozi, "He was quite strong. I have never beat him before. We have quite a similar fighting style but I lost a point and after that, it was really hard to get it back once you've gone down."

The world champion Noroozi beat his opponent, Lashkhi 3-0, winning gold in the 60kg Greco-Roman wrestling in the final. And it was Iran's second wrestling gold medal of the Olympics following Hamid Mohammad Soryan Reihanpour win the men's 55kg the day before yesterday.

Cuban wrestler Mijain Lopez won the 120-kg Greco-Roman gold by defeating Estonia's Heiki Nabi on 3-0 and Liu from China ranked 13th. Enditem
