Naadam

The Naadam is the most important festival in Mongolia, celebrated on July 11-13. The Naadam includes the three traditional sports: wrestling, archery, and horse racing. The wrestling (bokh) is the most popular event, and the wrestlers wear a zodog (a short-sleeved jacket that leaves the chest bare) and a shuudag (tight shorts). The wrestlers are paired by a ranking system, and the winner is the one who forces the other to touch the ground with any part of the body other than the feet. The archery is performed by both men and women, and the target is a row of small leather cylinders (the deer target). The horse racing is the most spectacular event, and the jockeys are children aged 6-12 who ride bareback across the steppe for distances of up to 30 kilometers. The Naadam is not just a sports festival. It is the national festival of Mongolia, and it is the celebration of the nomadic culture, the warrior spirit, and the connection between the people and the land. The opening ceremony features a parade of soldiers, athletes, and musicians, and the nine white banners (the nine yak tails that represent the nine tribes of the Mongol nation) are carried into the stadium.
