Tervel Dlagnev (born November 19, 1985; Bulgarian: Тервел Длагнев[1]) is a Bulgarian American wrestler who won the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials at 120 kg FS. At the 2013 Freestyle World Cup in Tehran, Iran Tervel finished 4 - 1.[2]

Tervel only wrestled two years in high school, where he finished third and fourth at the Texas state championships.[3]

Tervel was a 2-time NCAA Division II national champion for the University of Nebraska at Kearney where he also won a team title.[4]

Tervel defeated Les Sigman 2 to 0 at the finals of the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.[5] During the wrestling competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Dlagnev finished in fifth place after he was pinned by Artur Taymazov from Uzbekistan in the semi-final and suffered a loss against Komeil Ghasemi from Iran in his bronze medal bout [6] due to separated cartilage in his rib cage.[7]

Tervel won four out of five matches at the 2013 Freestyle World Cup, only losing to his rival Iranian Komeil Ghasemi.[8]

Tervel beat Alexei Shemarov of Belarus 2-1 to win the bronze medal at 125 kilos in the 2014 World Wrestling Championships.
 
He is very good. He has been the clear #1 Heavyweight(when healthy) domestically for the past half dozen years or so.
 
Hope Tervel gets healthier in the next few months. His interview was cause for concern, but no doubting his abilities. Hoping he gets that elusive Olympic gold.
