Jordan Burroughs makes his feelings known on movie "September 5" about Munich Olympics 1972 tragedy

Jordan Burroughs has shared his experience attending a special screening of the movie "September 5" chronicling the 1972 Munich massacre through the clips collected by ABC News. He is fresh off spending the holidays with his family after his 2024 World Championships setback.

Burroughs, 36, widely considered one of the most decorated freestyle wrestlers, holds the record for the most World and Olympic titles in US history. His repertoire includes an Olympic gold medal from the 2012 Summer Games and six World titles won across the years.

Missing out on making the 2023 World Team for the first time since 2011, Burroughs secured a spot on the 2024 World Championships roster but succumbed to Mohammad Nokhodi in the quarterfinals. Looking past the medal loss, the Nebraska alum celebrated the holidays with his family before sharing his movie experience with his social family.

On January 19, 2024, the 36-year-old took to his Instagram story to post the movie poster of September 5, sharing his experience of attending the special screening:

"Had the chance to see an advanced screening of this Golden Globes best motion picture nominee from Paramount. So interesting to see glimpses of how this tragic event was covered from a media perspective. Can't imagine experiencing this as an Olympian."

Jordan Burroughs won his first gold medal in the 2012 Games and lost his shot at the following Olympic editions. Despite his heartbreak, Burroughs exuded confidence in competing at 36, dropping a hint of his entry at the 2028 LA Olympics (via a promotional clip of 'Uncut with JB'):

"No one's ever arrived here. No one's competing at this high level at this age. I am. I'm good, but I still seek my own personal challenge. So, where most people will be like it's time to leave, I'm like, 'I think I have more to give.' So, that's my goal is to give what I have left, see what I can do. 2028, LA. I can do it."
