'''Bazarbek Orynbayuly Donbay''' ({{lang-kz|Базарбек Орынбайулы Донбай}}; born June 11, 1979 in [[South Kazakhstan Region|Ongutsik Qazaqstan]]) is a Kazakh [[judoka]], who competed in the men's extra-lightweight category.<ref>{{cite sports-reference|Bazarbek Donbay|http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/do/bazarbek-donbay-1.html|6 December 2014}}</ref> He held three Kazakhstan senior titles in his own division, picked up a total of twelve medals in his career, including a silver from the [[2002 Asian Games]] in [[Busan, South Korea]], and a gold from the [[2004 Asian Judo Championships]] in [[Almaty]], and represented his nation [[Kazakhstan]] in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004).<ref>{{cite news|title=Чемпион Азии Базарбек Донбай боролся за Кубок Европы|trans_title=Asian champion Bazarbek Donbay fought off at the European Cup|language=Kazakh|url=http://sport.gazeta.kz/news/chempion-azii-bazarbek-donbajj-borolsya-za-kubok-evropy-newsID20463.html|publisher=Gazeta.kz|date=18 October 2005|accessdate=20 November 2014}}</ref>

Donbay made his official debut at the [[2000 Summer Olympics]] in [[Sydney]], where he competed for the Kazakh team in the [[Judo at the 2000 Summer Olympics – Men's 60 kg|men's extra-lightweight]] class (60 kg). He ran off two straight victories over Germany's [[Oliver Gussenberg]] and Spain's [[Óscar Peñas]] in the prelims, before falling short in an [[ippon]] and a [[sumi gaeshi]] (corner reversal) throw to South Korean judoka and eventual silver medalist [[Jung Bu-kyung]] nearly two minutes into the quarterfinal match.<ref>{{cite news|title=Japan win judo gold|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics2000/martial_arts/927456.stml|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|date=16 September 2000|accessdate=23 November 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=Juan José|last=Fernández|title=Peñas, campeón europeo, choca contra sus limitaciones|trans_title=European champion Peñas hits his own limits|language=Spanish|url=http://elpais.com/diario/2000/09/17/deportes/969141609_850215.html|publisher=[[El País (Cali)]]|date=17 September 2000|accessdate=20 November 2014}}</ref> In the repechage, Donbay redeemed his strength to score a [[waza-ari]] point each at his own advantage over Georgia's [[Nestor Khergiani]] and Azerbaijan's [[Elchin Ismayilov]]. Donbay fulfilled his chance of reaching the bronze medal final on his Olympic debut, but nearly missed it in a defeat to Cuba's [[Manolo Poulot]] by a [[waza-ari|waza-ari awasete ippon]] and a [[seoi nage]] (shoulder throw) three minutes and forty-three seconds into their bout.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sydney 2000: Judo – Men's Extra-Lightweight (60kg)|url=http://library.la84.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/ju/JUresults.pdf|format=[[PDF]]|work=[[Sydney 2000]]|publisher=[[LA84 Foundation]]|pages=94–95|accessdate=23 November 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Tamura finally wins Olympic gold|url=http://www.canoe.ca/2000GamesJudo/sep16_tam.html|publisher=[[Canoe.ca]]|date=16 September 2000|accessdate=23 November 2014}}</ref>

When [[South Korea]] hosted the [[2002 Asian Games]] in [[Busan]], Donbay came up strong by chance for his first career medal in the [[Judo at the 2002 Asian Games – Men's 60 kg|60-kg]] division, but had to satisfy with a silver in his final match against Iran's [[Masoud Haji Akhondzadeh]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Asian Games roundup: Gold medals keep coming despite rowing defeat for China|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/news/2002/10/03/asian_games_thurs_ap/|work=[[Sports Illustrated]]|publisher=[[CNN]]|date=3 October 2002|accessdate=6 December 2014}}</ref>

At the [[2004 Summer Olympics]] in [[Athens]], Donbay qualified for his second Kazakh squad in the [[Judo at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's 60 kg|men's extra-lightweight]] class (60 kg), by topping the field of judoka and receiving a berth from the [[2004 Asian Judo Championships|Asian Championships]] in [[Almaty]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Чемпионат Азии по дзюдо в Алматы.

In the repechage, Donbay missed out on another chance for an Olympic bronze medal after he fell in a [[waza-ari|waza-ari awasete ippon]] and a strangle hold to Spain's [[Kenji Uematsu]] during their first playoff of the draft.<ref>{{cite web|title=Judo: Men's Extra-Lightweight (60kg/132 lbs) Repechage Round 1|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics_2004/martial_arts/results/3534212.stm|work=[[Athens 2004]]|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|date=15 August 2004|accessdate=31 January 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Kenji Uematsu se queda a un paso del bronce|trans_title=Kenji Uematsu stays a single step to bronze|language=Spanish|url=http://www.elmundo.es/jjoo/2004/2004/08/14/espana/1092482126.html|publisher=[[El Mundo (Spain)|El Mundo]]|date=14 August 2004|accessdate=20 November 2014}}</ref>
