Highlights as USA's Jordan Ernest Burroughs defeats Iran's Sadegh Saeed Goudarzi to win Gold in the Men's Wrestling Freestyle 74kg during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The 1900 Games were the only ones where wrestling was not present in any shape or form. As from the 1908 Olympic Games in London, Greco-Roman wrestling has always been included on the programme. Since the 1920 Antwerp Games, there have been both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling competitions.

As a former boxer and kickboxer, I must say the danger a wrestler brings to a fight can NEVER be overestimated. These fuckers are seriously dangerous. Their strength, aggression, conditioning, and skillsets are formidable.
"Two legged Takedown"
This announcer should go home.
Thumbs up if you're a wrestler...
Luke Rohlfing 👍
The best test of once will!!🤼♂️
I would be if there was a wrestling school in the uk
Are u still wrestler
I met him. Hes such a nice guy and has such love for his fans, he had no problem taking pictures and signing stuff. He deserves his praises and his medals
this guy very good wrester respect from Iran
sam ramirez are you mixed with any sorta Hispanic? Just wondering cuz I have the same last name lol.
Hes literally the best
Agreed
@@victoraxelalonso4434 exactly what I was thinking! a Persian named "Ramirez"...??? lmao
Shockingly bad commentary! I know the British don't have a strong wrestling tradition, but there must be a former athlete or coach or something - someone with more than a casual acquaintance with the sport - who could provide a little insight into the match. "Another good move from Burroughs" doesn't really cut it.
+Jordan Lewis
Yeah they sounded like golf announcers...
+Brendan Keller If someone who doesn't know much about wrestling is watching, I don't know if they could even understand the terminology. And if they do, than commentaries are redundant anyway. I'd like to see a sport event without a commentator just to see if it would be as interesting. Probably not though.
+Brendan Keller you are 100% right, but that's network TV in this day and age. They get their grimey mits on everything and get all the advertising benefits. We can name 20 plus commentators and wrestling fanatics that would do a great job. But not as long as NBC is doing the coverage. What a joke. But the wrestling is what's important here I suppose
Close, he's the aussie soccer commentator Les Murray, can spot that accent of his a mile away.
haha right when u said that he said that at the exact same time
This commentator killed the match
Nothing can kill this match. This match is a fantastic match with complete silence.
@@FExprt agree
Dudes form and style looked phenomenal. This guy really knows how to grapple well. I wish I took wrestling in high school. The shape this guy is in is insane.
Great match but boring commentator
kap563 yeah.
Everytime I view this, it warms my heart. Jordan worked hard and is definitely a true champion. May God continue to strengthen him and bless him with favor. 💜
Amen
My GOD YES
I forgot how much freestyle wrestling has changed over the years. I completely forgot a take down used to only be a point
I just watched a couple recent matches of Burroughs then came here and watched this. I think he is now even better "skill wise" then he was here. His hunger is back and I think he can be around for 2020. I hope so.
Jay qqq
here we are two years later with no olympics for him to compete at. crazy times
My favorite moment from the 2012 games was Jordan Burroughs, after winning the Gold Medal, tearing through the stands to hug his mother.
ALL I SEE IS GOLD 🥇
Watching this after he lost this year. I felt so bad for him in the interview when he started to break down. I feel so happy for him in this though.
Two strong, supremely quick and perfectly balanced athletes. Incredible athletic performance.
He is the reason that I want to do this in high school
Screw high school do it in middle school
Lol my comment sparked so much awesomeness
do it, it will change your life for the better never to late to start!
pfft do it when your atoms are still floating around the universe
KnockFirePCGaming Any updates?
I watched a documentary on Iran wrestling. It's amazing the sacrifices they make for the sport. All new respect for those guys.
Burroughs has such an aesthetic style. Always so cool to watch,
Anyone here from Joe rogans podcast?
I was looking for this comment :)
@@none_the_less 🤣
Waiting for him to go to McDonald’s
Why do none of the announcers for wrestling have any idea what they are talking about? The sick double with beautiful elevation change at 5'47, "And this is a GOOD MOVE! :)" For Christ's sake
RNTcomeback What about the shot re-shot at 2:55? "Very good wrestler's these boys..."
They were already pushing to have wrestling eliminated from the Olympic's so they found the most ignorant, drawl announcers possible to further decrease interest in it.
+RNTcomeback I guess if you know what they were doing you could have easily watched this with the sound muted. :) So I don't get your frustration with the commentator. I didn't even listen to the guy because it's totally redundant.
HAVE FLO WRESTLING DO THE COMMENTARY 2016 OLYMPICS!!!
Please
I like the commentators for the 2016 Olympics
I'm from the future...Jordan Burroughs is the 🐐
Great match! JB is great. I enjoyed the genuine happiness the coaches had.😊
So proud of him! The guy looks super humble and appreciative got to respect him, he deserves the gold!!! Congrats!! USA USA!!!
Borroughs is such an exceptional wrestler! Iran produces some an AMAZING wrestlers so, it makes his win all the more significant.
You've restored my hope in this world.
watching this in 2021 and i still get teared up seeing how excited jordan was. wrestling, and sports in general are such a beautiful thing. it’s so much more than just the physical body doing actions.
Jordan is a beast man I remember watching him in the Pac 10 at Cal State Fullerton winning with a crazy bull dog double. One of the nicest guys to after his match he talked to me and my teammates and had nothing but encouraging words to say. Thank you from keeping the Gold where it belongs
The guy who is talking sounds like he doesn't even want to be there...
Kevin Yang I know right!
Love Jordan from Iran
I love Jordan Burroughs. He's the guy who got me excited about freestyle. That's my dude!
I met jordan at a nebraska vs illinois meet the other day.
Lucky
What a great moment for Burroughs. Fantastic!!!
Absolutely phenomenal match!
Amen Brother; I'll check it out.
dude this announcer is hilarious!! he’s like a substitute teacher who doesn’t wanna be there
Always love watching this match!!! GOAT
I grew up with Jordan, wrestled with him for about 5 years before I moved away. Was always one weight class above him but I could take him down sometimes
You see that? Just a simple double leg took down an Olympian silver medalist. It may seem and be really simple, but it works on even the best
someone once said you can fend off a high c or a single easily, but get in on a good double, it's impossible to defend against
In the first double-leg..he was flying
The opponent is a worthy wrestler as well. This was a great match and great wrestling was seen from both!
world class match. Goudarzi some sweet momentum control early on, but Burroughs is the poster child for timing, aggression and staying with the attack.
@Perry - I was thinking the same thing. The quickness and ferocity with which Jordan lunged at his opponent reminded me of a cheetah attacking his prey. Awesome!
It's been my dream to go to the olympics since 11 years ago when I first started the sport. I'm going there someday #OlympicBound
Philly's Champion Go for it, I'll keep an eye out for you in Rio
Hows that going
How'd it go?
I'll have to look for you guys on the next olympics :-D
That first shot right off the whistle 🔥🔥
1:30 Lock into a stalemate? That's a freakin collar tie and defense. Can we get somebody who actually knows wrestling to commentate?
The commentator actually wasn't talking about the collar tie, he was referring to their other hands where they interlocked fingers which is not allowed in freestyle as little action occurs in that position. It is confusing though, because interlocking fingers is legal in folkstyle. Also, if you watch their hands at 1:30, the referee swats their hands to remove the lock.
They're both great wrestlers!
My coach wrestled Jordan back in his high school days in jersey
+Luis Merino you're famous!!
i love the sportsmanship here! At around 1:07 Goudarzi gives Burroughs a tap on the elbow which isn't much. but i think of it as he added a little bit more of a friendship, showing a little more respect for Burroughs. And at 6:37 you see Burroughs call off the flag for the lap of honor until AFTER he shook hands with the Iran coaches. Two great athletes showing great respect for each other and showing a great deal of sportsmanship which is why this is the greatest olympic sport in my opinion.
Jordan should of gave the UFC a try. I see him at middleweight gettin those takedowns with ease
He's said a while back that he wanted to win 2 Olympic gold medals first and then go into UFC. So 2016 will probably be his last year of competing in wrestling unless he's changed his mind.
My dad says that people do UFC when they have nothing else yo do, and Jordan is a phenomenal wrestler.
I often wonder what the ancient Greek Olympians would think about the super humans of today.
And at the same time think of what can be in the future. How far will we go? What greatness will the human spirit take us to? Physically and technologically.
It's is amazing time to be alive.
Well this is wrestling. Wrestling was invented by the Persians, not the Greeks.
Sadegh goudarzi, i love u💪
goat, one of the best
Great job Jordan.
if u guys think this is a good match u guys should watch Jordan burroughs vs kyle dake
Probably twice exciting, at least dake held a chance
Going to right after, mahalo
This was the first wrestling match and your comment led me to start watching wrestling and now I’m wrestling in high school
Amazing moment. Yet feels like I’m waiting for Jim Nance to say “Hello Friends”
That peace and friendship won't last long.
Who's here after the ben askren match
GREAT FINISH MOVEMENT
I love wrestling how its not just like america or another big country taking all the gold but countrys like iran can win also
How that clumsy Iranian style has been so successful on the World-Level is just beyond me. Burroughs never in any danger, and really just used Goudarzi's own awkwardness against him.
because you never watched him that's why you have no clue!
Oh wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...you either know very little about wrestling or just the superficial stuff they show on TV or internet. If you ever wrestled you would know how much of a savage the other guy is. We are talking one split second misplacement of one foot by half a foot ahead or backwards and you get taken down...It is complete perfection from beginning to the end. Wrestling, at this level, is so technical that only real enthusiasts with, at least state wrestling experience and a lot of detailed knowledge, can appreciate and follow. IT IS LIKE ASKING WHY FIGHTERS DONT THROW 100 PUNCHES PER ROUND AGAINST FLOYD WHEN THEY DO IT EVERY OTHER FIGHT THEIR WHOLE CAREER AND EVEN AGAINST KO ARTISTS AND WIN EASY. AND FLOYD IS NOT KNOWN FOR HIS KO ABILITY SO WHY ARENT THEY THROWING...THERE IS NOTHING TO HIT!!!
are you kidding? Iran puts out beasts
9 years after he wins Gold in 79 kilos in the world's, what a champion!!
That singlet clean af
This is, and always will be, an Olympic sport.
Representing New Jersey Wrestling WORLDWIDE.
Y'all have badass wrestlers
You can lift weights to get stronger and practice more to gain technique, but speed like Jordan's is just so rare and difficult to prepare for .
Awesome win by Burroughs
I’m probably the only person in the world that could stuff that double leg 😂
No headgear ? Crazy I didn’t know they do it like that
Excellent
It starts with practice. When in practice, keep this in mind: practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Make sure you know what to do in any situation. During matches, ask someone to film you so you can see what you did right and wrong. Work out everyday, you will need strength and conditioning. I suggest running, pushups everyday. I'm glad to give more advice if you want some.
JB like a Champ! Bam!
Jordan Van, 1 point takedown in Freestyle
Having an Englishman do freestyle wrestling commentary is like having an American do cricket commentary.
left the ref hanging lol
JB is a master of double led ..
MERICA!!!
Burroughs looked a bit tired to me at first but than he somehow managed to explode in the right moment as he always does. Hell, his defense is as good as his attacks! Goudarzi on the other hand seemed hesitant the entire match until it was already too late. It was tense to watch even though the title said Burroughs was going to win.
Lol the dude dressed as Captain America in the background
I believe I saw it on a facebook from usa wrestling. could be mistaken though
This makes me proud to actually say im American...makes me even more proud to say that im a wrestler!
Imagine if all of the NFL football players chose wrestling instead of football...
yggiz06 ??
completely different sports bud
they'd get crushed, now imagine if someone like jordan burroughs did football.
Wrestling can help football players. Football doesn’t help much for wrestling.
Daniel King he’s saying that football has a ton of super athletic people that would have been great if they had wrestled
His double leg so rediculous he jus basically tackles u
why are the mats so loose
?
Joshua Howey idk
That's how Greco and freestyle Mats are
I want to wrestle for the olympics sooooo bad since i started the sport it has been my dream any advice?
amen to that :)
GO BIG RED!
I can't imagine what that must feel like!!🤼♂️🏅🏅🇺🇸🇺🇸
where?
as I assume, the commentator is British and he doesn't like neither America nor Iran....lol
He isn't British. Well spoken New Zealander I'd guess.
Awesome
jordans shots remind me of a wild cat going after the kill haha
The announcer sounds like he took 14 sleeping pills and is in a battle to stay awake
Up until Burroughs shattered his ankle Dake never stood a chance against him. KING BURROUGHS!!!!
Beat the streets wrestling works! Support them America
00:52
What does he put in his singlet ?
A rag. In case of bleeding. Required.
Who came here to check Jordan out from Joe Rogan's experience?
Gold medal matches are about not losing not about winning
