U.S. captures first gold in wrestling!

Jordan Burroughs captured a gold medal at 163 pounds in freestyle wrestling earlier today.

Burroughs, 24, a former NCAA champion and Danny Hodge Trophy winner from the University of Nebraska, defeated Sadegh Gourdazi of Iran in two straight periods in the final after beating two-time world champioin Denis Tsargush of Russia. Tsargush had won the first round, meaning Burroughs had to win both rounds two and three. He came back to capture a bronze medal.

Burroughs also defeated former NCAA champion Matt Gentry, who went to college in the U.S. but represented Canada in the Olympics.

Its about time!

Yeah he does. I would've loved to have seen Varner face one of my heroes Kurt Angle. But Angle dropped out of the trials.
