NetflixThey might not have taken home the gold, but Team Mongolia won the hearts of Physical: Asia viewers, and they’ve made some incredible achievements since the Netflix show ended.
Physical: Asia proved every bit as gripping as Physical: 100, with the spinoff series seeing elite athletes from eight countries – Korea, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Mongolia, Australia, and Turkey – battle it out to be crowned the strongest nation.
Team Korea ended up winning the tournament following an intense showdown with Team Mongolia. If you’re already missing the weekly episode drops, don’t fret – there are plenty more Physical: 100 spinoffs in development (an Italian version is next).
In the meantime, many contestants are keeping busy by sharing vlogs and collaborating with other team members, including the six athletes from Mongolia.
Where are Team Mongolia now?
NetflixOver the past month, Team Mongolia have been riding a wave of global acclaim, appearing in photoshoots, sharing behind-the-scenes content, and even receiving a special national honor from Mongolia’s President, Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh.
On Monday, November 24, TV5 Mongolia aired a news report covering the ceremony, which all six contestants attended.
The President stated, “The team, who have made Mongolia proud on the world stage by successfully participating in the Physical: Asia program, have elevated the reputation of the Mongolian people and showcased our endurance, ingenuity, talent, and unity internationally.
“On behalf of the people of Mongolia, I express my deep gratitude and warm congratulations.”
The news was shared on the show’s subreddit, where one fan wrote, “This is huge for any athlete. Public recognition = sponsoring. Looking forward to see what the future holds for them!”

“Well-deserved honor for the Mongolia team, they did their country proud,” said another, with a third adding, “They freaking deserve it!”
Elsewhere, the team continue to receive praise from across the globe, with some even hailing them the “winners in our hearts”. Much of their continued appeal lies in their unity, humility, and genuine sportsmanship.
They have also ventured into partnerships thanks to their newfound fame, including a recent collaboration with Mongolian luxury cashmere manufacturer, Gobi Cashmere.
As for the individual team members, here’s what your fan faves are up to right now:
Orkhonbayar Bayarsaikhan now
Team Mongolia captain Orkhonbayar Bayarsaikhan maintains his position as a champion Mongolian Bökh wrestler, and he’s currently experiencing a new level of fame, having amassed 352,000 Instagram followers since Physical: Asia’s release.
He recently joined forces with Team Australia’s Eddie Williams for a (hilarious) photoshoot to promote the Netflix series. Williams even posted a clip of Bayarsaikhan online, writing, “Please encourage my friend so he’s not shy at doing modelling! I think he’s a natural!”
Speaking at the Presidential honor ceremony, Bayarsaikhan said, “There were many difficult and discouraging moments. During those times, we held Mongolia close to our hearts. Our nomadic heritage proved to be a real strength.”

Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu now
Alongside the glory post-Physical: Asia, Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu is gearing up for his next sporting event. He’ll be fighting against Fabricio Andrade for ONE Fight Night 38 on December 6, which you can watch on Prime Video.
But, let’s face it, right now everyone’s talking about Baatarkhuu’s relationship with Team Korea’s Jang Eun-sil. The pair have been sharing numerous clips and photos together, but rather than training, they’ve been implying there’s a romance brewing.
They’re just having fun with the fans who ship them, but it’s sparked plenty of excitement. In one clip, they do a little dance to Hwasa’s ‘Good Goodbye’. This was followed by a photo of the pair and a caption roughly translated as, “A kiss can be something you take and walk away from, but love won’t let you go.”
Responding to the photo, one wrote, “Does this man watch k-dramas because he is straight up delivering,” to which another replied, “They said it was a song lyrics, but still… omg omg I ship them so hard.”
Be sure to give Baatarkhuu a follow here so you don’t miss a thing.
