Luis Ygnacio Liendo (born November 25, 1980, in Caracas, Distrito Capital) is an amateur Venezuelan Greco-Roman wrestler, who competes in the men's lightweight category.[1][2] He won two bronze medals for the 60 kg division at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[3] Liendo also defeated United States wrestler Joe Betterman for the gold medal in the same division at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, earning him a spot on the Venezuelan wrestling team for the Olympics.[citation needed]
At age thirty-one, Liendo made his official Olympic debut at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where he competed in the men's 60 kg class. He received a bye for the preliminary round of sixteen match, before losing out to Kazakhstan's Almat Kebispayev, with a three-set technical score (0–1, 2–0, 0–2), and a classification point score of 1–3.[4]
