Dolgormaa made sporting headlines in the international scene at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, where she scored a waza-ari victory over Chinese Taipei's Lee Hsiao-hung to earn a bronze medal in the over-78 kg division.[2]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Dolgormaa qualified for the Mongolian squad in the women's heavyweight class (+78 kg), by placing second and receiving a berth from the Asian Championships in Almaty, Kazakhstan. She thwarted her former rival Lee Hsiao-hung in the opening match with a yuko (15-second hold), before losing out to her next opponent Maryna Prokofyeva of Ukraine by a waza-ari awasete ippon and a kuzure kesa gatame within one minute and sixteen seconds.[3][4]
