He is a two-time winner of the Asian Championship, in 2013 and 2014, along with bronze medals in 2015 and 2016. He had previously won a silver at the 2011 Asian Championships in the -60 kg division. He also won two silver medals in the -60 kg division at World Junior Championships in 2008 and 2009.[2]
At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he was defeated in the second round of the Men's -60 kg event by eventual bronze medalist Felipe Kitadai. At the 2016 Summer Olympics, he had moved up to the men's half-lightweight (-66 kg) division. In Rio, he beat Sulaiman Hamad and Houd Zourdani before losing to eventual gold medalist Fabio Basile in the quarterfinals.[3] Because his opponent reached the final, Tömörkhüleg was entered into the repechage.[3] He lost his match in the repechage to Antoine Bouchard.[3]
