Bilguun Munkhbaatar

Bilguun Munkhbaatar is an athlete from Special Olympics Mongolia in the East Asia Region. Bilguun participates in bodybuilding. He has been involved in Special Olympics since 2019.

Bilguun’s favorite parts about Special Olympics are Unified Leadership and sports events. He organized “Bilguun’s Exercise Class” event with his partner Erdem, which left him with a lot of good memories.

Bilguun is excited for the congress in Berlin. He is looking forward to meeting athlete leaders from all around the world. He is excited to learn with the athlete leaders, share his experience with them, and have his voice be heard.

When Bilguun isn’t competing, he enjoys swimming and playing basketball.

Bilguun says that being an athlete leader means carrying himself properly, being open, expressing his thoughts confidently, and being a role model to others.

Bilguun’s grant plan is to have at least 5 athlete leaders participate in the planning, organization, and facilitation of the first National Youth Leadership Forum. Athletes who played a meaningful role in the forum will attend TV and radio shows to raise awareness and promote Special Olympics in Mongolia. Some athlete leaders will assist clinical doctors as health messengers. Other plans include athlete leaders helping with planning, organizing, and marketing, unified leadership training for directors of unified schools, and teaching about inclusion and unified leadership for leaders of major sponsor companies. The plan also includes: taking a leading role in organizing a unified volleyball competition, publishing an athlete leaders’ story book, training athlete leaders as coaches, having athletes speak at events, and inducting a new athlete leader board member.
