With a multitude of staunch wrestlers on its roster, Team USA is all set to dominate the upcoming Olympics 2024. Along the same lines, one of the USA’s legendary wrestlers and four-time NCAA champion has been making headlines. 

As the anticipation for clinching a spot in the Paris Olympics is built, the wrestling prodigy is pouring sweat and blood to get redemption and make this year a counted gold for him. He has been going through intense training after making a weight loss commitment. However, this is more challenging than it seems.

Why is Jordan Burroughs losing weight?

As it is said, what people say is of no importance. Jordan Burroughs has been using this phrase throughout his wrestling career to counter obstacles in his way. A recent tweet by Jordan Burroughs was captioned, “I stopped telling people what my plans were and just started executing. 74kg loading.“

Jordan Burroughs, aka All I see is Gold, is preparing to clinch an Olympic Spot this year. Although he competed in the 79kg category, he is shedding pounds to participate in the 74 kg category. The major reason for this weight loss journey is the unavailability of an Olympics spot in the 79 kg weight category. 

Back in 2012, Jordan used to compete in the 79 kg category. However, after getting defeated by Kyle Dake in the same weight class, he decided to gain weight. But there were other obstacles he had to counter in order to grow. As he mentions in his tweet, he proved that Actions speak louder than words.

Eventually, he started executing his plans rather than discussing them. Therefore, the wrestling prodigy has planned to make redemption by participating in his previous weight class. Currently, he is planning to shed pounds to first show prowess on the world mat at the Kazakhstan tournament.

He will participate in the 74 kg category and be accompanied by USA’s Olympian, Yianni Diakomihalis, at the event. The events plays a crucial role in getting to upcoming Olympics 2024 as it not only offers a gold medal but also an Olympics spot. While Jordan aims to make redemption in the Olympic Weight Class, Yianni will compete to clinch a spot in the Olympics.
