The Mongolian Para Boccia Federation has made notable progress in recent years, with athletes achieving success at international competitions. Over the past year, they won three medals in two international events. Notably, Mongolian athletes narrowly missed out on qualifying for the next Olympics, losing by just one point in the Olympic qualification tournament. Among the notable achievements, T. Munkhdemberel earned a silver medal at the World Cup, Kh.Irmuun claimed a bronze, and Kh.Irmuun also took bronze at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Qualifying Tournament.
Para boccia has been developing in Mongolia since 2017, with S.Otgonbat serving as the president of the federation. During the tournament, he expressed, “Our athletes are training with the goal of participating in the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles. Behind every athlete is the tireless work and dedication of many people, families, coaches, and teachers. We are all preparing together to achieve this goal.”

Interestingly, para boccia has been a part of the Paralympic Games since 1984. The term “boccia” comes from the Italian word boccia, meaning “ball” or “bowl,” though the sport’s origins are believed to trace back to ancient Greece, where players threw large stones at stone targets.
