Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, March 18, 2021: The Mongolian Olympic Library has been enriched by the addition of a unique book of sporting memories written by the legendary Chimedbazar brothers.
The book, entitled “Brothers on the horizon of the sporting world”, has been penned by Ch. Damdinsharav and Ch. Nasantogtokh.
