EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo captures the essence of Mongolia's summer festival, Naadam, as 13-year-old jockey Purevsurengiin Togtokhsuren takes a break from caring for the horses to indulge in a game of basketball. The image was taken on July 8,2015, in Khui Doloon Khudag, located about 50 kilometers west of Ulan Bator. Despite his tender age, Togtokhsuren is participating in the national races for Mongolian Naadam for the fifth time. Alongside approximately 170 other child jockeys, he fearlessly lines up to compete in this renowned event that showcases traditional Mongolian sports and culture. In this picturesque landscape characterized by vast steppe plains stretching endlessly into the horizon, Togtokhsuren stands alone with a basketball in hand. His youthful energy and determination shine through as he enjoys some leisurely moments amidst his responsibilities as a jockey. The photographer behind this striking composition is Johannes Eisele from Agence France-Presse (AFP). Through his lens, Eisele beautifully captures both the contrast between traditional horse racing and modern recreational activities like basketball and the resilience displayed by these young athletes. This AFP award-winning photograph perfectly encapsulates not only Mongolia's rich cultural heritage but also highlights how children embrace their roles within it. It serves as a reminder that even at such a young age, individuals can possess remarkable skills and dedication when pursuing their passions.
