Mongolia has participated in the summer Olympics since 1964. 19 medals have been won by Mongolian athletes in these summer games, with two of those being gold medals.
Both of Mongolia's two Olympic medals were won at Beijing 2008. Judoken Naidan Tuvshinbayar (pictured) defeated Askhat Zhitkeyev (KAZ) in the men's half-heavyweight final, while boxer Enkhbatyn Badar Uugan defeated Yankiel Leon (CUB) in the men's bantamweight final.
As of now, 10 Mongolian athletes are headed to London to compete in five events, including boxing as well as various athletics and swimming events.
