Mongolian Triathlon Union announces new composition
The Mongolian Triathlon Union (MTrU) held its biennial congress on October 8th in Ulaanbaatar. The agenda comprised the report presentations from the secretariat, event planning for 2012 as well as the election of president, vice presidents and board members. In his remarks to the congress delegates, re-elected MTrU President Ts.Sandui said, “Since its creation in 2004, the MTrU has joined ITU and ASTC and our athletes regularly competed at the World and Asian Championships / Events organized by the two organizations. As a result, number of triathletes in the country has grown, consistently. Now, it is time to aim at the higher level of development. Only those triathletes with adequate financial support and improved training facility are well suited to compete at the regional level” he said. The congress also unanimously appointed T.Nasankhuu as First Vice President, D.Dashdavaa, T.Chuluunkhuu, G.Dorjpalam, D.Batjargal, D.Jargalsaikhan, O.Nooj as Vice Presidents and named B.Bayarkhuu as new Chairman of the Audit Committee.

ITU Level I Community Coaches Course in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
An ITU level 1 Community Coaching Course was held at the Mongolian Olympic Facilities in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia from 28 to 31 August 2010 under the guidance of the ITU Sport Development Manager, Alan Ley. A group of 16 coaches from Mongolia and Hong Kong attended the 4-day certification course which is part of the ASTC strategic plan to develop triathlon across the region. The ITU Level 1 Community Coaches Course manuals and handouts have been translated into Mongolian by Byambaa Tsagaanbaatar, the Secretary General of the Mongolian Triathlon Union. While almost all the participants can understand English, Nasanbat Naranbat, a national coach for Mongolia, who speaks English, Russian, Mongolian and French assisted with translations throughout the course. Ashiq Idris (Singapore) and Stephanie Chok (Malaysia) assisted Alan Ley with the presentation of the course as part of their final practical requirement for the ITU Facilitator Certification. The Mongolian Triathlon Union (MTrU) was founded on December 18, 2004, at which time there was not a single triathlete in Mongolia, nor a budget or any suitable training facilities. Now in August of 2010 Mongolia has coaches, triathletes and a calendar of events. It was the first-ever ITU-ASTC Level 1 Community Coaches course in Ulaanbaatar. “I thought it wouldn’t be popular in Mongolia because it’s so hard,” said Secretary General of the Mongolian Triathlon Union Byambaa Tsagaanbaatar. After two weeks of training, Tsagaanbaatar took his three athletes to a competition in Kazakhstan, and Mongolia had its first official triathletes.Byambaa Tsagaanbaatar is credited as the founder and now Secretary General of the MTrU. According to an article written in 2008 by William Kennedy, Byambaa started his triathlon with a dream that foreigners might want to compete in Mongolia, but he was sceptical about domestic interest in the sport. “I thought it wouldn’t be popular in Mongolia because it’s so hard,” Tsagaanbaatar said. “I didn’t think we’d have Mongolian athletes.” In July of 2005, Tsagaanbaatar found three young prospects: A. Ankhzul, E. Munkhbayasgalan and M. Tsenguun. After two weeks of training, Tsagaanbaatar took his three athletes to a competition in Kazakhstan, and Mongolia had its first official triathletes. Now the future of triathlon is exciting and full of possibilities for Mongolia! {/exp:tagstripper:tagsToSave}
