Tsogtbazaryn Enkhjargal (Mongolian: Цогтбазарын Энхжаргал; born April 6, 1981, in Erdenebüren sum, Khovd aimag) is an amateur Mongolian freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's flyweight category.[1] Between 2001 and 2011, Enkhjargal had won a total of six medals (two golds, three silver, and one bronze) for the 46, 48, and 51 kg classes at the Asian Wrestling Championships.[2] She also captured three bronze medals in the same division at the Asian Games (2002 in Busan, South Korea and 2006 in Doha, Qatar), and at the 2005 World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Hungary.[3][4]

Enkhjargal made her official debut for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where she placed second in the preliminary pool of the women's 48 kg class, against France's Angélique Berthenet, and Guinea-Bissau's Leopoldina Ross. Tsogtbazar, however, lost to Germany's Brigitte Wagner in the quarterfinal match, with a score of 0–3.[5]

Four years after competing in her last Olympics, Enkhjargal qualified for her second Mongolian team, as a 27-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by claiming the gold medal in the flyweight division from the 2007 Asian Wrestling Championships in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.[6] Enkhjargal received a bye for the second preliminary round of the women's 48 kg class, before she was pinned by Ukrainian wrestler and Olympic bronze medalist Iryna Merleni.[7]
