By Michael Pavitt at the Toyoko Inn Kamata Higashi-guchi in Tokyo Sunday, 11 July 2021 Judoka Duurenbayar Ulziibayar and basketball player Khulan Onolbaatar have been selected as Mongolia’s flagbearers for the Opening Ceremony of the delayed Olympic Games here. The two athletes received the Mongolian flag from the country’s President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa in a special ceremony. Onolbaatar will be the first woman to have the honour at the Opening Ceremony in the Japanese capital on July 23. Mongolia’s previous 27 flagbearers in Summer and Winter Olympics have all been male, dating back to the country’s maiden appearance in the Winter Games at Innsbruck in 1964.
