Mongolia, which is considered the strongest in Asia’s 3×3, is one of the players to watch out for, especially Volor Erdene Gantzolmon.
Gantzolmon represented Sansar at the NH Nonghyup Bank FIBA 3×3 Hongcheon Challenger 2026 held at a special court at the Hongcheon K Convention Center in Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon State on the 18th.
Gantzolmon is considered a promising player in the country, with a 5-5 ratio as well as a 3×3 ratio in Mongolia. Kang Vail, who worked with him, said, “He has good game management skills and skills. Therefore, he said, “I am a prospect who is also very interested in Mongolia.”
Sansar and Gantzolmon participated in this competition because they had a ticket to participate in the FIBA 3×3 Macau World Tour 2026.
Gantz-Olmon said, “I participated with my teammates because it was a competition where the world tour ticket was at stake. In addition, 3×3 must participate in many competitions and earn points. That’s why I came out,” he said.
Gantzolmon participated as a Mongolian player in the last FIBA 3×3 Nations League and competed with South Korea. “I thought all four of South Korea had shooting ability and overall skills were good. “He did a great job,” he said. “Among them, No. 11 (Lee Dong-geun) stood out the most.”
South Korea and Gantz-Olmon are also scheduled to meet at the upcoming 2026 Aichi and Nagoya Asian Games. Mongolia is the favorite to win the 3×3 Asian Games. South Korea is also most wary of Mongolia along with China and Iran.
Gantz-Olmon said, “I will leave the country on Sunday after finishing this tournament. Our goal is to win a medal. “I will do my best to achieve that goal,” he said. “The Republic of Korea is the most wary team along with China. It’s true that they’re good, but we’re going to do our best to win,” he said.
