Jordan Burroughs will attempt to defend his gold medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro after sweeping Andrew Howe to capture the freestyle 74-kilogram division at the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials in Iowa City.

"He had an amazing journey," Burroughs said after the match. "It was a repeat from the 2012 Olympic Trials, but I'm going to Rio. I've got to get some mosquito repellent."
