THE THREE MANLY SPORTS

I am working to identify the three manly sports mention in this Mongol Messenger article:

"President N.Bagabandi and his spouse A.Oyunbileg paid an official visit to Japan on December 3-8. On December 4, the President and his wife visited the Japanese Emperor Akihito, and Empress Michiko. They exchanged opinions on mutual co-operation, culture, art and customs and traditions. The Mongolian President talked about Mongolian nature, the seasonal changes in the country, its climate, the traditional Three Manly Sports, the rules of Mongolian chess, folk toys and games. The conversation moved on to the Mongolian professional sumo wrestlers, Asashyoru, Kuokysuzan, Kuokotenho and others. At the end of their meeting, the President invited Emperor Akihito to visit Mongolia."

Ah ...Traditional Wrestling, Archery, and Horseback Riding

[Rules for Mongolian chess include: no biting. Third-parties and spectators not allowed to throw punches. -LoM]

[I am given to understand that one of the sports is Mongolian Polo which involves swords and only the occasional loss of life. -CSG]

[I read that Go and Rally racing are up and coming. Nobody tell me that Go isn't a manly sport. - UttDC]
