U.S. wrestlers, including Olympic champion Jordan Burroughs, grappled with Cubans in this year’s “Beat the Streets” event in Times Square, dubbed “Salsa in the Square.”

Burroughs easily vanquished his opponent, helping the U.S. to a clear 9-4 victory under cloud cover in an event that lasted into sunset.
