Across Mongolia, Mongolians will celebrate Naadam, the Festival of the Three Manly Sports. In Ulaanbaatar, as well as in towns across Mongolia, athletes will compete in wrestling, archery and horse racing.

On the morning of July 11, Mongolians gather at Ulaanbaatar's National Central Stadium for the Naadam Opening Ceremony, a grand celebration of Mongolian dance, music and culture.

Naadam commemorates the 102nd anniversary of the Mongolian Revolution, the 817th anniversary of the Mongol Empire and the 2,232nd anniversary of the Hunnu Empire.

For Naadam, horses race long distance across the open steppe. Horses are categorized by age, while jockeys are children who ride bareback.

Wrestling in the National Naadam Festival takes place in the National Central Stadium in Ulaanbaatar. The nation's top 512 wrestlers compete for two days in nine untimed, single-elimination rounds.

Monoglia's tradition of archery has shaped world history, allowing Genghis Khan to conquer the world. The National Naadam Festival features both men's and women's competitions at the National Archery Field next to Ulaanbaatar's Naadam Stadium.

In the tradition-rich game of anklebone shooting, competitors fling a domino-like bullet, trying to knock down a row of sheep anklebones.
