Of the three events, two have left a deep impression 3 me: wrestling and horse racing. Mongolian wrestling is different from 4 in the Olympic Games. There are no 5 (round ) and wrestlers are not separated by weight. The wrestler loses if any part of his body above his knee touches the ground. As for horseracing, it was 6 (amaze) to see that the riders were boys and girls. That is because children are much 7 (light) and the horses can run faster and farther. There is no need to worry about their safety, for they 8 (ride) horses all their lives. It is no wonder that people say "Horses are at 9 heart of Mongolian culture".
