The official opening ceremony features hundreds of dancers in colorful traditional garments performing synchronized routines across the stadium field. The grand celebration includes mounted horsemen carrying ceremonial banners, live music ensembles, and flame cauldrons.
Wrestlers clad in traditional open-chested zodog jackets and shuudag briefs compete in an open-air arena without weight classes. Referees in traditional robes watch closely as competitors utilize balance and grips to bring opponents to the ground.
Male and female archers wearing detailed deels draw composite bows to target small stacked leather cylinders placed across the field. Officials line the track to score hits and perform traditional praise gestures after accurate shots.
