Enkhbatyn Badar-Uugan

Enkhbatyn Badar-Uugan earns my deep respect for one simple, enormous fact: he won Mongolia's first ever Olympic boxing gold, taking the bantamweight title in Beijing 2008. Planting that flag for a country never before crowned in the ring is the kind of achievement that outlives a career. At 172 cm in a featherweight-margin sport, the nerve required to stand atop that podium is staggering. He is retired now, but I suspect his medal still hangs over every young Mongolian fighter's imagination. National pride is an overused phrase, yet it fits this man's fists exactly, and I admire that he carried it without fuss.
