MONGOLIA. Nomadic herders wrestle at a naadam festival on a remote pass in Arbulag Sum, near Muren in Hovsgol Aimag, Mongolia. This ancient sport is immensely popular across the country, and legend says that men wear their unique costumes to prove that they are not women, after a woman once humiliated male wrestlers by beating them.
