Mongolia at the Olympics

Mongolia first participated at the Olympic Games in 1964, and has sent athletes to compete in all but one Summer Olympic Games since then, being part of the boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympics led by the Soviet Union.Олимп: Монголын баг тамирчидын олимпод үзүүлж байсан амжилтуудаас (Mongolian) Mongolia has also participated in the Winter Olympic Games since 1964, missing only the 1976 Winter Games.

Mongolian athletes have won a total of 31 medals, all in Summer Olympics competitions, in freestyle wrestling, boxing, shooting, and judo. Prior to the 2008 Summer Olympics, Mongolia had won more silver and bronze medals without winning any gold medals than any other nation. Mongolia won their first ever gold medal in Judo, with Naidangiin Tüvshinbayar winning in the Men's half heavyweight. The first successful Оlympic athlete from Mongolia was the wrestler Jigjidiin Mönkhbat, who won the silver medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 0 losses.

The Mongolian National Olympic Committee was created in 1956 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1962.

History Mongolia first participated in competition at both winter and Summer Olympics in 1964. The next four years saw Mongolia win their first medals at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968, and the success of Mongolian freestyle wrestlers has helped strengthen the country's international standing.Монголоо алдаршуулсан олимпийн баатрууд Монцамэ, September 27, 2018. "1945 оноос хойш Монгол Улсыг дэлхий дахинд таниулж, мандуулсан хоёр том үйл явдал байдаг. Энэ нь 1961 онд Монгол Улс НҮБ-д гишүүнээр элссэн, 1968 онд Монголын тамирчид олимпийн наадмаас дөрвөн медаль хүртсэн үйл явдал юм."[Since 1945, Mongol Uls has gained prominence and risen to international prominence thanks to two significant events: the country's accession to the United Nations in 1961 and Mongolian athletes winning four medals at the 1968 Olympic Games] Chimedbazaryn Damdinsharav became first Mongolian Olympic medalist."Монголоо алдаршуулсан олимпийн баатрууд", Montsame, October 10, 2018. Accessed May 10, 2026 (in Mongolian). "Тиймээ, хамгийн хөнгөн жин учраас бидний эхэнд Дамдиншарав медаль авах болчихлоо... Хэрэв Дамдиншарав ялж чадаагүй бол бид нар ингээд өнгөрлөө гээд л шалчийх байсан." [Yes, Damdinsharav won first medal among us because he was lighter in weight category... If Damdinsharav hadn't won, we would have become insecure.] As a result of the U.S.-led boycott in 1980, Mongolia joined the boycott led by the Soviet Union at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. The nation won its first two gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing in judo and boxing.
