Judo
Mongolia sent eight judokas to Athens, its largest contingent in any sport, and it was rewarded with its only medal of the Games. Khashbaataryn Tsagaanbaatar won his first three matches in less than five minutes, progressing to the semifinals, where he lasted less than thirty seconds against his Japanese opponent. In the bronze medal match, there were no scores in the five minute period, so another period was played, and Tsagaanbaatar scored with less than a minute-and-a-half remaining to win the bronze. Only one of the other seven judokas managed to progress as far as the quarterfinals, and the overall team record was 9-10.
