It’s a bit forward thinking to start talking about next wrestling season when we’re squarely in the middle of the 2018-19 campaign. Flo put out a list of guys that are eligible for an Olympic redshirt, though, and it brings up some interesting discussion.
Daton Fix, by virtue of his World medals, is one of the guys eligible for an Olympic redshirt here. Even if you don’t take it, you can still wrestle the Olympics, but it allows you to train separately if you want and not lose a year of eligibility.
This past summer he made a very impressive run for a Senior World Team spot where he ultimately fell to Thomas Gilman in a best of three series at Final X.
