Mongolia's annual National Naadam held the closing ceremony on Saturday evening in the central stadium of Ulan Bator.
The word "Naadam" means game or competition in Mongolian. The Naadam, mainly including the Three Manly Games of wrestling, horse riding and archery, usually is held during Mongolia's national days.
This year 512 wrestlers, more than 200 archers and nearly 1000 horses took part in the competition.
There are no weight classes in the elimination game of wrestling. Wrestlers can attain ranks such as eagle, elephant and lion only during the national Naadam. The number of rounds won by each wrestler determines his rank. At last Mongolia's famous wrestler Do. Ganhuyag won the champion.
