'Manly' competition at Naadam Festival

Mongolian wrestlers compete during a wrestling competition at the annual Naadam Festival in Ulan Bator July 11, 2012. It's almost a millennium since the descendents of Genghis Khan ruled an empire stretching as far as Europe, but Mongolians are still fiercely proud of their ancient nomadic culture, and the annual Naadam festival is where they show it most - and pass it on to the next generation. Naadam centres around the three "men's sports" of horse racing, wrestling and archery, which have been practiced for centuries as intrinsic parts of nomadic life. [Photo/Agencies]
