As the Olympics 2024 approaches, spectators are on the edge of their seats to catch every match where athletes compete for an Olympic spot. The anticipation for this tournament is majorly due to the Olympic spot as athletes pour their heart and soul into the match. Even though most of the Olympic spots are already acquired, some of them remain. 

Along the same lines, One of the USA’s elite wrestling sensations, with his weight loss commitment, has embarked on the Kunayev Tournament. He will not only compete for a gold medal in the tournament but also clinch an Olympic Spot. 

Back on the Hunt with Jordon Burroughs

As per the recent Instagram post on his social media handle, Jordan Burroughs’ post was captioned, “Feels good to be back on the hunt. 6 days until competition season starts again. I’m ready and willing to spend it all.” Apart from the caption, it was the accompanying picture, that demands special attention. It is a restructured image that shows half of Jordan’s face while the other half is that of a lion! Seems like his intentions are clear. 

Being a 79 kg wrestler, Jordon Burrough faced a significant obstacle, as he was not eligible to participate in the event. Per the rules, the 79kg spot was unavailable in the upcoming Olympics. Eventually, It was not made a part of the Kunayev tournament. Thus, Jordan was required to either quit his Olympic dreams or shed pounds to become eligible for the competition.

Therefore, Jordan Burroughs decided to return to his prior competing class. Bach, in 2012, Jordan was a 74 kg wrestler competing in the Olympic Weight class, but eventually, he gained weight and started competing in the 79kg category. However, he not only made a weight loss commitment as per the circumstances but also promised himself to clinch gold this time. 

Will Jordan Get a Wrestling Gold in the Upcoming Olympics?

The Kunayev Tournament is of utmost importance, as it not only offers a title and an Olympic Spot but also a golden opportunity to perform exceptionally well on the mat. While World Mat is not new to Jordan, he must perform well on the Kunayev mat to check his preparation level for the upcoming Olympics.

Along the same lines, Jordan, after accomplishing this significant achievement, will have other obstacles on his way to Olympic gold. By shedding pounds to compete in the 74 kg category, he would face not only his competitive opponents but also Kyle Dake. Titan’s legendary wrestler Kyle Dake has a record of defeating Jordan Burroughs in the 74 kg category. 

Overall, the upcoming Olympics is both a chance and a risk for Jordan Burrough. Since he switched to 74 kg, he can take redemption and risk losing to his worthy opponents. However, gains only come out of taking risks. It remains to be seen whether the calculated risk taken by Jordan is good enough to bring him triumph.
