One of Mongolia’s top judokas D.Tumurkhuleg (66 kg division) was invited to become a contracted athlete of the United Arab Emirates. Judokas N.Dagvasuren (81 kg) and B.Temuulen (100 kg) are expected to become contracted athletes for the United Arab Emirates. They are expected to finalize the contract in March and start competing for the country in May. In addition, other top Mongolian athletes have already made contracts to compete for other countries. For instance, judoka G.Otgontsetseg, a top judoka in the women’s 48 kg changed her citizenship and competes for Kazakhstan and has won bronze medals at the World Championships and Olympics for the country. Last year, Azerbaijan’s judo team drew contracts with E. Bazarragchaa (48 kg), P.Buyankhishig (52 kg) and M.Ichinkhorloo (57 kg).
