Daton Fix Finishes with a Silver Medal at the World Championships
Fix is the first OSU wrestler to medal at the World Championships since Daniel Cormier.
Daton Fix made the finals of the World Championships on Saturday and came out of the tournament with a second-place finish.
Fix faced Russian Abasgadzhi Magomedov in the medal match final.
The first exchange in the match resulted in a called two for Magomedov. Fix’s corner challenged and the call was reversed making it a 0-0 match.
Shortly after, Fix was put on the shot clock. After 30 seconds, he was unable to secure a takedown and gave up the shot clock point, but nearly finished a shot on the edge. He was able to get a push out to make it 1-1 and lead on criteria at the end of the first.
In the second, Fix was put on the shot clock again. He attempted a takedown and was countered and scored on. This takedown coupled with the shot clock point made it 4-1 Magomedov. There was no more scoring in the match and Fix fell 4-1 finishing with a silver.
This was the first Senior World Medal for Fix and the first by an Oklahoma State wrestler since Daniel Cormier won bronze in 2007.
