Sükhbaataryn Sürenjav

Sükhbaataryn Sürenjav (Mongolian: Сүхбаатарын Сүрэнжав; born May 20, 1951) is a retired Mongolian wrestler.

This is a Mongolian name. The given name is Sürenjav, and Sükhbaataryn is a patronymic, not a family name.

The IOC database incorrectly lists Sürenjav as bronze medalist in the Freestyle wrestling Flyweight category at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico.[1] In reality, that medal was taken home by fellow Mongolian wrestler Chimedbazaryn Damdinsharav.[2]
