Naadam: The Mongolian Olympics

http://www.scmp.com/video/

Mongolians celebrated Naadam this month, a sports festival that rivals the Olympics with its centuries' old history. Genghis Khan's descendents compete in skills that enabled them to once rule the world's largest empire: Wrestling, archery and horse racing.

Since Mongolia's revolution in 1921, Naadam is now celebrated as a national holiday every July 11th.

We talk to a Mongolian wrestler who has high hopes for his compatriots at this year's Olympic Games.

The only difference between you and me is this: I eat horse meat but you get fucked by a horse. You are nasty!

Please don't write anything about races being better or worse than each other. If you want to write something about it, do it somewhere else. This is just a fun video about what Mongolian people do and enjoy. I love being a Mongolian, and I respect other people's cultures too. Be mindful of what you say about others here!
