The Mongolian National Olympic Committee was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 1 January 1962,[3] and the nation entered Olympic competition soon after, taking part in both the 1964 Winter and Summer Olympics.[4][5] Mongolia has only missed two Olympic Games since, the 1976 Winter Olympics; and the 1984 Summer Olympics as the Mongolians joined in the Soviet-led boycott of the Games in Los Angeles.[6][7] Beijing marked the Mongolian's sixteenth appearance at a Winter Olympic Games. The delegation sent to Beijing consisted of two cross-country skiers; Batmönkhiin Achbadrakh and Enkhtuul Ariusanaa. Batmönkhiin Achbadrakh and Enkhtuul Ariunsanaa were the country's flag bearer during the opening ceremony.[8][9] Meanwhile Achbadrakh was also the flagbearer during the closing ceremony.[10][11] Achbadrakh and Ariunsanaa were chosen as the flag bearer's during the opening ceremony,[8][9] while Achbadrakh was chosen for the closing ceremony as well.[10][11]
