Kyle Dake swept the Jordan Burroughs 2012 Olympic gold medalist 3-0, 3-2 in their best-of-three finals series to earn the US spot in Tokyo in the 74kg freestyle division.

Iran PressAmerica: Burroughs failed to qualify for the Olympics after making all nine previous Olympic or world championships teams dating to the start of his senior career in 2011.

“It just sets in that a run is over for me,” Burroughs, a 32-year-old who said before trials he planned to continue wrestling beyond 2021, said on NBCSN. “It’s hard. It’ll be hard for a while. … The future is still bright for me although it just might not be in Tokyo.

“It’s not over for me,” Burroughs stressed.
