Fifth at the 2011 and 2013 World Championships, and fifth in the 2012 Olympics, Dlagnev came through to capture a bronze medal at the 2014 World Championships on Monday night at the Gymnastics Palace.
Dlagnev scored a first-period takedown en route to edging 2011 World champion Alexei Shemarov of Belarus 2-1 in the freestyle wrestling bronze bout at 125 kilos.
Dlagnev won his second World bronze medal after placing third at the 2009 Worlds.
