[quote=PHOENIX                 ,18440]Mongolian Wrestling contests at Naadam, sometimes involving over 1.000 contestants, are an exciting spectacle. As there are no weight classes and 16 contests are held simultaneously, the competition progresses quickly. Before the contest wrestlers perform an eagle dance to limber ups and displays their fine physiques. Each wrestler has a second who acts as a coach and herald to announce his charge?s heroic deeds. The techniques used in Mongolian wrestling are not limited and include a variety of holds, throws, tricks and other moves. The contest ends when a contestant?s knee or elbow touches the ground.The pride of Mongolia is the wrestler. The men participating in this event are revered by all Mongolians and the winner is given the most prestigious title of ?Lion?. Much skill and training goes into the sport of wrestling and it takes years not only master the sport but to understand what is going on. The wrestling at Naadam is a knock-out competition and the final may last for several hours, depending on the skill of the competitors. The costume of the wrestler consists of great heavy, decorated boots, a small long sleeved top with bare chest and even smaller pair of briefs. It is told that in times past the top also covered the chest. It was when a woman, disguised as a man, won the competition that the open-chested design was decided upon, thereby eliminating women once and for all from the competition.[/quote]
