The American wrestlers need someone to give them their swagger back after a disappointing Olympic Games. Good for them that Burroughs wrestles on Friday, Aug. 10, 2012. The U.S., which has won just one bronze medal in five days of wrestling competition, is hoping that it's men's freestyle team can restore some pride for the wrestling program as a whole.
