I
Our sacred independent country
Is the ancestral hearth of all Mongols,
May all of the world's good deeds
Prosper and continue for eternity.

Our country will strengthen relations
With all righteous countries of the world.
With all our will and might
Let us celebrate our beloved Mongolia!

II
Our great nation's symbol blesses us
And the people's fate supports us
Let us pass on our ancestry, culture and language
From generation to generation.

The brilliant people of the brave Mongolia
Have gained freedom and happiness.
The key to delight and the path to success,
Long live our glorious country.[3]
 
I believe it would be 3 matches. Loser of quarterfinal (Kudiev), Loser of Semi (My guess, Sujeet, India), and then the wrestle-off for true 3rd.

Ochir has to win those 2 bouts first, though.
I was wrong. I thought Zain was Tumur's first match. Zain would have to beat Brunei's Alibegov first, then the 3 matches I mentioned.
 
Absolutely incredible on top, Spencer gets it done.

Spencer is absolutely phenomenal! If someone is better than him in par terre, I'd have to see it. He also might be one of the strongest pound for pound wrestler's of all-time.

I mean he dominated college wrestling on top using the same moves we were taught in our first two years of elementary wrestling and no one could stop him!
 
Ochir up 1-0 on activity clock.
Slip on an arm spin for Ochir. No score.
End of 1.

Ref puts Sujeet back on clock.
Sujeet hasn't taken a shot the whole match, not even a fake. Ochir 2-0.
Now Ochir goes on the clock.
2-1 Ochir.
Ochir finishes with a 4 at the clock, on a counter.
Zain gets pulled back in!!!!!

Hats off to the Mongolians!

Q9-wU3.gif
 
And to give some perspective for Ochir:
Age 26
UWW Rank 24
2024 record 8-1
2nd 2024 Asia
2nd 2023 Asia
3rd 2021 World
made the 2021 Olympics, went 0-2 with the first loss being to the eventual gold medalist (Otoguro)
Could someone explain why Ochir is trying to qualify that weight for his country? Wouldn't a second in 2024 Asia be enough?
