Enkhjargal made her official debut for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where she placed second in the preliminary pool of the women's 48 kg class, against France's Angélique Berthenet, and Guinea-Bissau's Leopoldina Ross. Tsogtbazar, however, lost to Germany's Brigitte Wagner in the quarterfinal match, with a score of 0–3.[5]
Four years after competing in her last Olympics, Enkhjargal qualified for her second Mongolian team, as a 27-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by claiming the gold medal in the flyweight division from the 2007 Asian Wrestling Championships in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.[6] Enkhjargal received a bye for the second preliminary round of the women's 48 kg class, before she was pinned by Ukrainian wrestler and Olympic bronze medalist Iryna Merleni.[7]
