EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Naadam Festival in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, a vibrant annual celebration of Mongolian history, tradition, and culture. In the foreground, a National Guardsman stands proudly in his blue uniform, adorned with traditional Mongolian tiles and a sword, guarding the tiled floor of the stadium. Behind him, the excitement of the competition unfolds, with wrestlers in traditional garb locked in a fierce struggle, archers drawing their bows, and riders and their horses preparing for the red-dust-covered horse racing track. The Naadam Festival, held every July since 1225 AD, is a testament to Mongolia's rich history and the enduring strength of its people. The photograph, taken in the year 2000, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of this annual event, which showcases the country's most treasured sports: wrestling, archery, and horse racing. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving tradition and the power of community and competition.
