00:00Thank you for listening.
06:17But it's the guard.
06:34Wrestling is the main event.
06:36More than just a simple game, it's an art, a veritable institution, just as sumo is in Japan.
06:47Oddly enough, there are no weight, age or rank categories.
06:52All participants are mixed together and take part in the tournament equally.
06:57A child, for example, might end up in competition with an adult.
07:02Wrestling has been practiced since the beginning of time.
07:19The rules are simple.
07:21The participant, who brings his opponent to the ground first, wins and will go on to the next round.
07:27Nine rounds are held over the three days of competition.
07:42Wrestlers who win five rounds in a row are awarded the title of Falcon.
07:47A wrestler who wins six rounds becomes an elephant.
07:50The winner of the whole competition is changed into a lion.
07:54If a lion wins again the following year, he becomes a giant.
07:58A giant who wins a third time becomes a national giant.
08:01And if the national giant is strong enough to win four times in a row,
08:05he is declared invincible, naturally.
08:08And if one's true, a national and a huge one has chosen especially in a row.
08:11As much as two people will begin to win four times in a row,
08:13they will eventually come to the loss of one another.
08:15Why are you now more than one another?
08:17And why are you so excited about that?
08:18Do not care.
08:19And what do you think about that?
08:20What do you think about it?
08:21No way or what do you think about it?
08:22The answer is that you, the answer is you.
08:24The answer is to go.
08:26The answer is to go.
08:29The answer is to go.
08:30I'm sorry.
09:00I don't know.
09:30Thank you so much for watching.

19:11Polo, a recent sport in NADAM competitions.
20:21Archery is one of the three most important events of the NADAM.
20:24It's a tradition going back to Genghis Khan, who introduced it to help him select the most skillful archers.
20:36Participants use wooden bows with strings made from animal tendons.
20:40The arrows are made from branches and bird feathers.
20:44The men stand 75 meters away from the target and shoot 40 arrows in all.
20:53The judges stand in all.
20:55Judges stand to either side of the target.
20:59They intone a song called the ukai in crescendo so as to encourage the archer.
21:05They raise their hands skyward to announce the result of the shots.
21:11The archery event has been open to women for the last few decades.
21:17Women stand only 60 meters from the target and shoot 20 arrows.

22:33Other events take place during Nadam, like here, a knuckle-bones competition.
23:03Here we go.
23:33Shortly before the beginning of the festival, hundreds, even thousands of people converge
23:56from across the steppe towards the places where the events are to be held.
24:02For some, particularly the nomads, the festivities provide an opportunity to meet friends and
24:07relatives that they've not seen since last year.
24:10Jairs are erected everywhere around the villages.
24:15And not far from the horse race finishing line, a stage is set up where groups perform traditional
24:22Mongolian or more modern music.
24:24Any and all means of transport are used in order not to miss this event.

26:53The day of competitions is coming to an end.
27:10And quite a day it was.
27:12Yet even though it was extremely tiring, there are still a few trying out their bows.
28:41The Erdène Zoo Monastery, or Jewel Temple, was built in 1585 and is undoubtedly the oldest
29:01Buddhist monastery in Mongolia.
29:06A wall of stupas guards the entrance to this monastery.
29:09Although it suffered greatly under Stalin, it miraculously still stands today.
29:20Only a few temples have survived, and the monks were not allowed back to work until after
29:25the end of communism.
29:30There are 108 typically Tibetan Chortans, 108 being a sacred Buddhist number.
29:34The surrounding walls were built from the ruins of the ancient Mongol capital, whereas the
29:47main temple has been beautifully restored and now houses a rich collection of sacred objects.
29:51Even within the monastery we find, of course, the ever-present Jairs.
30:08Even within the monastery we find, the ever-present Jairs.
30:22All Buddhist monasteries have prayer wheels.
30:39They usually consist of a cylinder with written mantras inside.
30:55They are generally aligned, but they don't always have the same shape or the same colour.
31:01They do, however, have the same function.
31:08The cylinders are spun clockwise.
31:10Mongols believe that spinning the wheel is equivalent to reading the mantra.
31:14This allows the prayer to fly away.

31:57Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia.
32:27It is the political, economic, industrial, scientific and cultural centre.
32:36Administratively, it has the status, unique in Mongolia, of a federal municipality, comparable
32:41to that of a province.
32:46The city stretches from east to west in the bottom of the Tuul River Valley.
32:51Today the Mongolian capital numbers about 1.3 million inhabitants, or about 45% of the
32:57total population of Mongolia.
33:00Ulaanbaatar is a modern city, mixing Soviet architecture with new constructions.
33:14During Nadam, everything is closed.
33:16It is the time for Mongols to meet and celebrate for three days.
33:21Cars proudly sport the colours of the Mongolian flag and everyone dresses up for the festivities.
33:29The city centre is easily visited on foot.
33:32Ulaanbaatar is centred around Genghis Khan Square, formerly Sukhbata Square.
33:38A statue of the revolutionary hero Sukhbata was erected here, and since 2006, a giant statue
33:44of Genghis Khan has dominated the square.
33:51The Ulaanbaatar, in contrast to Kakorin, takes place in a stadium.
34:16The archery competition is held in an annex of the stadium.
34:25It is, moreover, free for all spectators.
34:31Apart from individual archery events, there are also archery teams composed of ten archers.
34:37Each archer is given four arrows.
34:41Each team has to score 33 surs.
34:45A sur is a target in the form of leather cylinders.
35:07Men shoot their arrows from a distance of 75 meters away from the target, women from 65 meters.
35:24Right up to the end of the event, when the medals are awarded, the archers are usually dressed
35:28in a traditional costume called a dél.
35:43There are two slots.
