A gold medalist of the 2014 Asian Games D.Otgondalai automatically received his first win at the first match in the men’s -60 kg because his rival A.Dashdejid did not arrive on the ring due to a specific reason.
A State Honored Sportsman and Olympic bronze medalist U.Monkh-Erdene (men’s -64 kg) missed the national championship because of an injury.
