BBC Sport - London 2012 Olympics: Mongolia's fight for new heroes

BBC Sport - London 2012 Olympics: Mongolia's fight for new heroes: "Mongolia, a country once steeped in ancient traditions, is changing beyond recognition.
The country of Genghis Khan where nomads and wild horses roam free beneath brilliant blue skies is in danger of becoming a thing of the past.
An unprecedented economic boom is bringing about far-reaching social change.
Soon, over a third of Mongolia's population will have left the countryside to live in the capital city of Ulan Bator.
Few aspects of life here are untouched by the relentless drive to modernise - and that includes the nation's sport."
