Dlganev, a two-time world bronze medalist, suffered an injury and is unable to compete.
Dlagnev tweeted the following on Sunday: "Thank you for all the support. It has been a tough year dealing with injury. I want to apologize to everyone who made plans to come watch me at the world championships. I pushed as far as I could but God had other plans. Praise the Lord because this has to be the best thing for me. Don't know how but I do know God and that He has my life secured. Lord willing I'll be back better than ever."
This year Rey won a gold medal at the Cerro Pelado International in Cuba and finished third at the Alexander Medved International in Belarus. He was also a member of Team USA for the World Cup this year.
