Check out FloWrestling's documentary on Jordan Burroughs heading into the Olympic Games:

We all watched as our champion, Jordan Burroughs, tasted defeat in Rio at the Olympic Games. It was the first time that we have seen him fail to medal since arriving on the international scene. But now...is he done?

Burroughs posted a blog Tuesday on his website that started with love and ended in disbelief.

Let me start by saying that I love you, still. Although our most recent encounter could be described as anything but pleasant, I couldn't imagine my life without you. As you probably already know, these last few weeks have been difficult for me.

It's an unfamiliar position for a man who's given everything to the pursuit of world success (and through which fans worldwide adored). Burroughs sounds as if he's struggling with life after Rio.

In the end, Burroughs gives us a glimpse of where his mindset is as he hints at retirement.

But God honors the humble. Being human ain't so bad. So as I consider our relationship, Wrestling, I'm finding solace in being who I am without my singlet. I'm waking up early not to rush to practice, but to make breakfast for my family. I'm driving my car past the wrestling room to take my son to gymnastics class. I just need some time to heal. I hope you understand. It's not you. It's me. I need a fresh perspective, and if I hurry back to you I'll be sacrificing this opportunity to grow. When you stop seeing gold, you gain the clarity to see life's true treasures. Maybe I'll see ya around. Maybe.
