A scene from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony (28210389354).jpg

Mongolia competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. Since the nation made its debut in 1964, Mongolian athletes had appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, with the exception of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, because of its partial support to the Soviet boycott.

Contents

The Mongolian National Olympic Committee fielded a team of 43 athletes, 26 men and 17 women, across nine different sports at the Games. It was the nation's largest delegation sent to the Olympics in a non-boycotting edition, tying the record with the number of athletes achieved in Moscow 1980. [2] Among the sporting events represented by the nation's athletes, Mongolia marked its Olympic debut in taekwondo, as well as its return to weightlifting after an eight-year hiatus.

The Mongolian roster featured 11 returning Olympians, with only three of them having won medals at the previous editions of the Games: judoka Naidangiin Tüvshinbayar, who emerged as the nation's most decorated athlete with two medals; freestyle wrestler Soronzonboldyn Battsetseg, who obtained the bronze in the women's 63 kg division, and pistol shooter Otryadyn Gündegmaa, who established a historic record as the first Mongolian to participate in six Olympics. Other notable Mongolian athletes featured Asian Games champion Dorjnyambuugiin Otgondalai in men's lightweight boxing, marathon runner and four-time Olympian Bat-Ochir Ser-Od, and heavyweight judoka Temuulengiin Battulga, who was selected by the committee as the nation's flag bearer in the opening ceremony. [1]

Mongolia left Rio de Janeiro with only two medals (one silver and one bronze); each was awarded to Otgondalai and lightweight judoka Dorjsürengiin Sumiyaa (women's 57 kg). [3] Several Mongolian athletes narrowly missed out of the podium, including judokas Mönkhbatyn Urantsetseg and Lkhagvasürengiin Otgonbaatar, who both placed fifth in their respective weight categories, and freestyle wrestler Ganzorigiin Mandakhnaran, who controversially lost the bronze medal match to Uzbekistan's Ikhtiyor Navruzov in the men's 65 kg division, provoking a protest against the decision by his coaches while stripping their clothes off. [4] [5]

Wrestling

Mongolia has qualified a total of nine wrestlers for each of the following weight classes into the Olympic tournament. Five Olympic berths were awarded to Mongolian wrestlers, who finished among the top six at the 2015 World Championships, while the other half of the wrestling roster had booked Olympic spots by progressing to the top two finals at the 2016 Asian Qualification Tournament. [20] [21]

One further wrestler had claimed the remaining Olympic slot in the men's freestyle 97 kg to round out the Mongolian roster at the final meet of the World Qualification Tournament in Istanbul.

On 11 May 2016, United World Wrestling decided to revoke an Olympic license from Mongolia in women's freestyle 53 kg, due to doping violations at the Asian Qualification Tournament, but the license was reinstated two months later, following the recent meldonium guidelines released by IOC and WADA.
