In the finals, Jordan lost to Asghar Basri of Iran, 0-3, 1-2.
Jordan opened with victories over Pirouz Roudpodhti of Iran, 3-0, 1-0 and Mohammad Javad Ebrahimi of Iran, 1-0, 0-1, 5-0. In the semifinals, he defeated Omar Magomedov of Belarus, 0-1, 1-0, 2-1.
Jordan was a star for the Univ. of Missouri, and is now an assistant coach at Arizona State.
Dlagnev was defeated in the gold-medal finals by Fardin Masoumi of Iran, 0-1, 2-3. Masoumi was a World silver medalist in 2009, while Dlagnev won a World bronze medal in 2009.
Dlagnev defeated Giorgi Nikuradze of Georgia, 1-0, 2-0, Khashayar Dehestani of Iran, 4-2, 4-2 and Hadi Pouralijan of Iran, 1-0, 2-0, on the way to the finals.

Iran won the team title with 69 points, followed by Russia with 40 points and the United States with 36 points.
"Overall, it looked like we had a good tournament. We sent six wrestlers to Iran and came home with four medals"¦ that's a good percentage. We're definitely improving and that's our number one goal"¦ getting better" said National Freestyle Coach Zeke Jones.
Jones was pleased that the depth of the U.S. freestyle program continues to improve.
"One of our measurements that we are grading ourselves on is how the rest of the national team is competing against the best in the world. Not only do we want to see our No. 1 wrestlers win medals but we want to start seeing the depth of our national program have success internationally. Today we're showing that the entire team can compete with the best in the world" said Jones.
An in-depth wrapup from Sunday's competition will be provided by Team Leader Van Stokes on Monday.
