After a disappointing World Championships, Mongolia have shuffled their backroom staff and introducing a new-look coaching team in order to reinvigorate their run-up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games.
From a vast team of 18 world-class judoka Mongolia only earned one medal thanks to five-time Grand Slam winner Munkhbat Urantsetseg. This compares to three medals in 2018, six in 2017, three in 2015 and one in 2014 although that solitary medal was gold for Ganbat Boldbaatar in the U60kg category.
Mongolia have rung the changes after a mediocre World Championships
The Mongolian team have already made a number of changes to their regime after a two-week training camp in the countryside city of Erdenet that included the introductions of English lessons for all the judoka and coaches.
They have picked a 16-strong team for Abu Dhabi where they will expect to return to the medal picture on all three days of the competition. Former Asian Games winner and 1992 Olympian Boldbaatar Khaliun and former two-time Ulaanbaatar World Cup winner Chimed-Yondon Boldbaatar will oversee the team in the UAE.
