Reminiscent of his 2013 World Title just four weeks after breaking his ankle and having surgery, Burroughs again proved he’s one of the toughest athletes around as he won his sixth World or Olympic Gold Medal and ninth World/Olympic medal overall.

Jordan Burroughs just revealed he had a torn calf.
