Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A welcoming ceremony took place Friday morning at the “Chinggis Khaan” international airport for Olympic athletes D.Otgondalai, a bronze medalist of the men’s boxing; and G.Mandakhnaran, a fifth place holder of the freestyle wrestling.

Together with them, other Olympians for wrestling, boxing, athletics and taekwondo landed home.

“I am very happy to win an Olympic medal in my first appearance in the Olympic Games. I just competed in Olympics, controlling my emotions as I did in ordinary international competitions. I felt it is possible to win a medal, and I tried my best to concentrate on the medal contests. I was really confident to reach silver, even gold medal. I express my gratitude to the Mongolian Olympic Boxing Federation, the ‘Khilchin’ sports club and ‘APU’ company that supported me,” D.Otgondalai said.

He was welcomed at the airport by his family members, relatives, friends, officials of the “Khilchin” and “Aldar” sports clubs.
