Jordan Burroughs has been the face of USA Wrestling for more than a decade, and this week, the 34-year-old set a new bar for all American wrestlers moving forward.
Burroughs captured another world title at the 2022 Senior men's freestyle world championships in Belgrade, Serbia. He went 5-0 to win gold at 79 kilograms (174 pounds), capped by a 4-2 finals victory over Iran's Mohammad Nokhodilarimi.
In doing so, Burroughs is now a seven-time world and Olympic champion, the most in USA Wrestling history. He has won six world titles — 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2021, and now 2022 — in addition to his Olympic gold medal in London in 2012.
