Team USA’s Jordan Burroughs won wrestling gold in the London Games in 2012, and he’ll look to defend his title Friday. Burroughs is the favorite to win gold in Rio, and he’ll do his best to add one more to the United States’ medal count Friday. Burroughs has only lost one match since London, when he was hindered by a sprained ACL.
Rio 2016 schedule: Time and TV schedule for Day 14’s Olympic events
Team USA’s Jordan Burroughs will look to add another gold to the United States’ medal total in the 74kg wrestling finals on Friday.
Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
Friday also marks the last race of Usain Bolt’s storied and successful Olympic career. Bolt will retire in 2017, and the 2020 Games in Tokyo aren’t in his plans. He’ll anchor the Jamaican 4x100m relay, facing off against a Team USA quartet that finished behind Jamaica and won silver in London, then had the medal stripped when Tyson Gay tested positive for a banned substance.
There are medal events in race walking, badminton, women’s soccer and more, so keep up with all of the action on television or via live stream from NBC Sports with the schedule below.
