Ganzorig Mandakhnaran (Mongolian: Ганзоригийн Мандахнаран; born 11 May 1986) is a male Mongolian wrestler who competes in the 66 kilograms (146 lb) category in freestyle wrestling. He was born in Töv province. He is a two-time world bronze medalist and Ivan Yarygin 2016 contestant.

He took bronze medal in the 66kg event at the 2013 World Championships, Mandakhnaran beat Semen Radulov 10–4, Gergõ Wöller 9–2, Andreas Triantafyllidis 11–3, lost to 2012 Olympic medalist Liván López by criteria with the tied score of 6-6 in the semifinal, defeated Kang Jin-hyok 3–1.[1][2]

He took second bronze medal in the 65kg event at the 2014 World Championships, Mandakhnaran beat Tital Dzhafarian 15–5, upsets reigning World champion David Safaryan 12–1, lost to Soslan Ramonov by 0-11 in the quarterfinal, defeated 2011 vice World champion Franklin Gómez 6-4, and two-time Alexander Medved Prizes International champion Azamat Nurykau 8C–7.[3][4]

He reached 5th place in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro after he was denied victory for not engaging with his opponent in the last seconds of their bronze medal contest.[5] Mandakhnaran almost won bronze in the 65 kilograms (143 lb) event but in the final seconds when he was leading 7–6, he started prematurely celebrating in front of his opponent – Ikhtiyor Navruzov. A penalty point was awarded to Navruzov by the judges due to Mandakhnaran refusing to engage with his opponent during the round. Mandakhnaran's coach and trainer were so incensed by the decision that they took off their clothes in front of the judges, leading to another point being awarded to Navruzov for a final score of 7–8 with Navruzov becoming the victor.[6][7][8] Both of his coaches would later be banned by the United World Wrestling until August 2019.[9][10]

Mandakhnaran’s career also includes victories over well-known wrestlers such as Zaurbek Sidakov, Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov, and 2013 Individual World Cup champion Yakup Gör.[11][12][13]
