One of the main features of Mongolian national wrestling is the tradition of awarding titles (tsol) to successful wrestlers at the Naadam Festival. It is interesting to know why Mongolians have been awarding various titles to their wrestlers since the seventeenth century. These historical periods were the years when Mongolians were actively fighting for independence in many fields (politics, religion, culture, etc.). The tradition of awarding titles to Mongolian wrestlers symbolizes the struggle for independence. This tradition has become a celebration of the success of modern Mongolian wrestlers. Currently, Mongolian wrestlers are awarded six titles (nachin, khartsaga, zaan, garuda, arslan, avarga) at the national Naadam Festival. Mongolian wrestling is not just a sport based on sportsmanship and competition for victory. From the history of the development of Mongolian wrestling and its components, it is possible to see the peculiarities of the Mongolian mentality, the socio-political situation, the cultural heritage, and the aspirations of the people. Mongolian wrestling tsol (titles) and chimeg (additional narratives that highlight titles) are some of the key elements that can clearly indicate such a feature
