The Mongolian National Olympic Committee recently named the best athlete of the month for January, as part of a program implemented last October by the Mongolian Sport Journalists Union, UBS Television, and Marketing Agency of Mongolia’s Sport. Rio Tinto is also sponsoring the program.

January’s “best athlete” is Sanjaasuren Miyaragchaa, a judo wrestler on the national select team. He was selected by a vote of fans and judges based on his victory at the Masters Competition in Almaty, where the 16 best judo wrestlers in the world competed. He has now won the competition twice.

Nyantain Bayaraa, a shooter on the select team and an Olympic qualifier, came in second place in the voting. Tseveenravdan Byambajav, a track and field athlete, came in third for his success in finishing tenth in a marathon in China.
