- Püreviin Dagvasüren
-
This is a Mongolian name. The given name is Dagvasüren, and the name Püreviin is a patronymic, not a family name.
Püreviin Dagvasüren (Mongolian: Пүрэвийн Дагвасүрэн; born June 13, 1943) is a retired Mongolian traditional wrestler with the top rank of "lion". He also participated in the 1972 Summer Olympics as a heavyweight Judoka, but did not win any medal.
The IOC database incorrectly lists Dagvasüren as bronze medalist in the freestyle wrestling welterewight category at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico.[1] In reality, that medal was taken home by fellow Mongolian wrestler Tömöriin Artag.[2]
