Wrestling in the land of Genghis Khan - chicagotribune.com: "KARAKORUM, Mongolia — The four massive wrestlers walked into a clearing in the middle of the Mongolian steppe. They wore the traditional outfit of brief — very brief — shorts and matching garment covering only the tops of their backs.
Nearby, a 9-year-old flew across the landscape whipping his horse's backside while being pursued by about 30 other 9-year-olds, one angrily grabbing at the lead boy's shoulder, trying to overtake him. It seemed surprisingly dangerous, considering their ages. Then again, this is the land of Genghis Khan.
Meanwhile, the wrestlers and child jockeys hoped archers aiming for nearby targets were true to their aim."
