The Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism is organizing the V Mongolian National Sports Festival in Ulaanbaatar, from September 12-14th.

The Mongolian National Sports Festival will include the following categories:

National wrestling,

Mongolian archery,

Buriad archery,

Uriankhai archery,

Traditional archery,

Horse riding, horse catching and lasso grabbing, and wild horse training,

Knucklebone shooting.

Mongolian national sports are unique for their great technique, legacy based on national culture, and customs passed on from generation to generation for thousands of years.

Naadam, Mongolia's comprehensive sports culture, was inscribed to UNESCO`s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity  in 2010.

Mongolia hosted a wrestling tournament in Ulaanbaatar that set a Guinness world record for the most participants in a single wrestling tournament, where 6,000 wrestlers competed.

This wasn't the end of the record breaking, however. Mongolia deserved a Guinness World Records title for the largest parade of 10,000 on horseback and a 3,000 horse endurance race.
