MONGOL-STYLE RODEO TOURNAMENT TO TAKE PLACE

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The national tournament for Mongolian-style rodeo will take place August 23 in the "Khui Doloon Khudag" horse-race arena near Ulaanbaatar. The action will run under auspices of PM in several phases--picking up a whip while riding a horse, catching horses with a lasso-pole, and training a horse--among the best 21 horse-herders from all aimags. This tournament is of great importance in terms of keeping our nomadic culture and traditions, propagandizing the national culture and history, noted Ts.Oyungerel, the Minister of Culture, Sport and Tourism, and said the contest must run every year. Moreover, the cabinet considered as necessity to reflect the Mongol-style rodeo tournament in the programme of the Naadam festival.
