    Jordan Burroughs, an Olympic champion and two-time World champion at 74 kilos, suffered the first defeat of his international wrestling career on the senior level on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the Yasar Dogu International in Istanbul, Turkey, halting his consecutive win streak at 69. The loss came in the quarterfinals to U.S. wrestler Nick Marable, 4-4.

    Burroughs earned the first point of the match to go up 1-0 after the first period. Marable battled back, picking up two takedowns to go up 4-1. Burroughs added a pushout point and late takedown to knot the score at 4-4 at the end of regulation, but Marable earned the victory on criteria (most takedowns).

    Burroughs came back to earn the bronze medal with a 10-2 victory over Batuhan Demircin of Turkey. Marable claimed the gold medal. Earlier this month he won a gold medal at the Grand Prix of Paris.

    It was Burroughs' first competition since winning a gold medal at the 2013 World Championships in September.
