Sainjargalyn Nyam-Ochir (Mongolian: Сайнжаргалын Ням-Очир) is a retired Mongolian judoka.[1] In 2012, he won bronze at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the 73 kg category.[2] He beat Christopher Völk in his first match, then Volodymyr Soroka before being beaten by Mansur Isaev in the quarterfinals. Because Isaev reached the final, Nyam-Ochir was entered into the repechage, where he beat Nicholas Delpopolo on the way to beating Dex Elmont in their bronze medal match.

Nyam-Ochir is currently a coach at Eastside Dojo in Plano, TX.[3]
