There should be a few more for track and field but I don't know what the qualifying status is for that yet.

Olympics Field Guide: Jordan Burroughs: The Best Wrestler In The World Who Isn’t Afraid To Say It

Name: Jordan BurroughsSport: Freestyle wrestling, 74 kg

Hometown: Sicklerville, N.J.

Age: 24

Why you should care about him: Burroughs is the best in the world at his weight, and he really enjoys telling people that. He tweets from the braggadocious handle "@alliseeisgold." You can also go to alliseeisgold.com to buy yourself an "All I See Is Gold" t-shirt. The motto is a reference to the fact that Burroughs has been undefeated since his senior season at Nebraska. His last defeat came in 2009, in what was supposed to be his senior season. Burroughs tore his PCL and LCL in the first period of a match against Central Michigan. He managed to finish the match, but lost 3-2. (The injury caused Burroughs to miss the rest of the season, and he was granted a medical redshirt to return for a fifth season.) He proceeded to go undefeated in his final year with the Huskers, winning both his third Big 12 title and and his second NCAA national title. And he won the Hodge Trophy, wrestling's version of the Heisman.
