Mongolia’s first woman Olympic flag bearer www.news.mn
At just 21 years old, 3×3 star O.Khulan has been selected to become the flag-bearer for Mongolia at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the first-ever woman to get this honor.
The 5ft 11in (1.80m) player is starting to get used to making history. She’s becomes part of the first team in Mongolian history to compete at the Olympic Games. Her country has a rich history of winning medals in individual sports such as wrestling, boxing and judo (9,8 and 7 medals respectively) but had never ever been at the Olympics in a team sport or discipline.
“I’m happy for sure,” O.Khulan said. “But the biggest emotion is the pride to be Mongolian. I just can’t wrap my head around the idea that I am given this huge opportunity on the biggest stage in sports, at the Olympics. It is every athlete’s dream to represent your country on the biggest stage possible.
After making her 3×3 debut in 2017, she became a household name on the 3×3 scene after leading Mongolia to the quarter-finals of the FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup 2019, including a memorable buzzer-beating win against Germany.
In her perfect English – she went to school in Australia – she had given a long interview to FIBA3x3.basketball about the incredible rise of 3×3 in Mongolia.
On July 9, she officially received the national flag from Mongolian President U.Khurelsukh in an official ceremony.
O.Khulan became the second 3×3 athlete to become a flag-bearer at the Olympian opening ceremony after Latvia’s Agnis Cavars. /FIBA/
