One of the most intriguing records in sports is held by a game known as "Mongolian Wrestling" or "Bukh," which is part of the Naadam Festival in Mongolia. In 2019, this traditional sport saw a staggering 2,409 wrestlers compete simultaneously in a single event, setting a Guinness World Record for the largest wrestling match ever. This cultural event, which celebrates the "Three Manly Skills" of wrestling, horse racing, and archery, is deeply rooted in Mongolian history and showcases not only individual strength and skill but also the country's rich traditions. The sheer number of participants highlights the community spirit and the importance of wrestling in Mongolian culture, where it is considered a rite of passage and a source of national pride.
