What sports do Mongolians have?

Wrestling, horse racing and archery, as the traditional "three arts of men" in Mongolia, have been indispensable skills for men since ancient times, and are also symbols to measure whether there is real kung fu. These activities do not need special venues, special equipment and a fixed number of people, and can be carried out anytime and anywhere. Therefore, it is not only the main content of Nadam convention, but also the main content of weddings, festivals and other festive occasions. Mongolian mass sports activities such as wrestling, horse racing and archery not only exercise the body, but also enrich the amateur cultural life. More importantly, in recent decades, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places have trained and transported a large number of outstanding athletes for the country. Mongolian athletes have won awards in various national competitions, and often get on the podium in international competitions, winning glory for the country. Horse racing Mongolians are almost born to love horses and are good at training them. In the past, as a riding nation, they could not do without horses. A good horse and a good rider have always enjoyed great honor. Therefore, horse racing has certainly become the favorite sport of herders. Mongolian horse racing is generally divided into horse racing and horse racing. Horse racing is to let a horse with a complete saddle and a suitable horseshoe run to the opposite side (that is, the front and rear hooves cross forward), which is faster, more lasting, more stable and more beautiful than a horse. Only experienced people can ride off the horse, so most of the horses participating in the competition are adult horses over 5 years old, and the riders are mainly adult horses. During the competition, the rider is required to have superb riding skills and can control the horse well, so that it can walk fast, steadily and beautifully without running. It is also required that the higher the horse stance, the better, and it is very elegant, which depends not only on the weight of the horseshoe, but also on the quality of the horse. A good horse is expensive even in pastoral areas. The race is faster and more endurance than the horse, and whoever reaches the finish line first wins. The pace of horse racing is different from that of horse racing. Four hooves run back and forth in pairs. Most of the contestants are boys aged 12 and 13, because they are light and agile. In order to reduce the load of horses and take care of the safety of riders, running horses are not equipped with saddles or light saddles. The riders only wore gorgeous and colorful clothes and wore red and green ribbons on their heads, which made them look heroic and majestic. Games are usually 25 to 35 kilometers long. Running horse races is more common than going to Marseille, and the number of participants is more, ranging from dozens to more than 100. At the beginning of the game, the players jumped and whipped quickly, and the audience cheered. According to Mongolian custom, praise the horse after the race. The horses that won the ranking are arranged in front of the rostrum in turn, and the venerable old man sings praises for the horses, and then sprinkles milk wine or fresh milk on the rider who won the first place to show his blessing. In addition to this traditional way of horse racing, new forms of horse racing, such as steeplechase and figure race, have appeared in recent years, making this horse racing event richer and more exciting. Archery is a traditional entertainment and competitive event of Mongolian people. It originated from the early Mongols who used bows and arrows as hunting tools and fighting weapons. Since ancient times, Mongols have been known for their good riding and shooting. Mongolian archery can be divided into riding and static shooting, and riding and shooting are particularly excellent. Men, women and children can participate in the competition. There are not too many restrictions on the style, weight, length and tension of bows and arrows, as you like. Generally, each person is required to shoot 9 arrows in three rounds, and the ranking is evaluated by the number of arrows in the target. Static shooting means standing still and shooting with a bow. The distance between the person and the target can depend on the specific situation, but the schedule of the same game is fixed. Riding and shooting refers to a player riding a horse on a special runway while pulling a bow and shooting. Runways are generally 4 meters wide, 85 meters long and more than half a meter deep. There are two targets on the left side of the runway and one target on the right side. In the race, the shooter jumped into the runway, drew his bow, put an arrow on the galloping horse and aimed at a powerful blow. 1959 archery is included in China's sports competition, and it is required to compete in accordance with international competition rules.

Landing anywhere above the knee is a failure. Wrestlers have special clothes, including a tight half-sleeve vest made of cowhide or canvas, fat wrestling pants, Mongolian boots and a colored cloth collar hanging around their necks. The venue is simple. As long as there is a lawn or a soft open space with spectators sitting around, wrestlers can compete in the middle. Before the game, both sides sang challenge songs to help out.

The champion won a big prize and enjoyed an excellent reputation among the people. Riding horses also belongs to Mongolian traditional sports activities. Generally, there are two kinds of rope harness and swing harness. Rope harness was originally a means for herders to restrain horses when grazing. In the race, choose a strong horse and let it gallop.

Mongolian traditional horse-swinging movement. Swing and horseback riding are held in festivals. Young riders gathered on the grassland in groups of dozens, each holding a bamboo pole about 3 meters long. Tie a rope loop at the top of the pole, and the size of the rope loop should be suitable for covering the horse's head. Let a fierce horse rush past first, and the groom will run to catch up. When they reach a proper distance, they will swing their arms quickly to trap the horse. Trap the horse's head first, and the one who pulls the fierce horse wins.
