A wrestler completing the ritual procedure before entering the arena for the fight (Mongolia). Mongolian wrestling, or Bökh, is a traditional sport featured during the Naadam festival along with horse racing and archery. It has ancient origins and is a strong symbol of Mongolian culture. There are no weight classes or time limits. The goal is to make the opponent touch the ground with any part of the body except feet and hands. Wrestlers wear a special outfit that reflects tradition and allows movement. Ceremony is important. Wrestlers perform an eagle dance before and after each match to represent power and freedom. The referee introduces the wrestler's background and honors their heritage. Titles won are kept for life. The highest title is Titan, awarded to repeated champions at Naadam. Success brings honor to both the wrestler and their community. Bökh expresses the values of strength, respect, and perseverance. It is more than a sport and represents a living cultural tradition.
