12-26 in Vancouver, Canada. They are having training in order to compete in the men's and women's cross-country skiing.
The two Mongolians--Kh.Khash-Erdene and O.Ochirsukh--have been granted Olympic rights after having collected qualification points at competitions. The Vancouver's Games are the 12th Winter Olympics for Mongolia since it made the debut at the 9th Winter Games in Innsbruck, Austria.
