Olympic career

[edit]

At the 2006 Asian Games he finished in joint fifth place in both the heavyweight (‍–‍100 kg) division and the open weight division.[3]

Tuvshinbayar won the men's 100 kg division's gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He was the first Mongolian ever to win a gold medal at the Olympics,[4] by defeating Kazakhstani judoka Askhat Zhitkeyev[5] (according to the old rules of judo, where it is allowed to double and single leg takedowns,[6] with the legs grabbed by the hands,[7] similar to a freestyle wrestling).[8] On 14 August 2008, he was inducted as the state honoured athlete of Mongolia as well as a hero of labour.[9]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Tuvshinbayar won a silver medal, becoming the first Olympic multimedalist from Mongolia. He won his silver medal despite suffering a serious injury in the semifinal bout.[10] Also, at the 2017 World Championships,he won a bronze medal, becoming both an Olympics and World Championships multimedalist.
