Defined by relentless pace and superior will, Burroughs won his first World title in 2011 at 74 kg in Istanbul before reaching the sport’s pinnacle with Olympic gold at the 2012 London Games. He added a third straight world-level title in 2013 in Budapest and captured his fourth World and Olympic gold in front of a home crowd at the 2015 World Championships in Las Vegas. In 2017, he claimed his fifth World title in Paris, leading Team USA to its first world team championship since 1995.

One of the hallmarks of Jordan’s greatness is his ability to constantly evolve. In 2021, after transitioning to 79kg, he secured his first World title in four years and joined John Smith as one of two American men to win six World and Olympic gold medals.
