On May 11, the "Sports Russia" venue will host the "Һeer shaalgan (Seer khukhalkha)" spine bone breaking competition. A Buryat sports game tournament "Talaan Tobsho Naadan" and masterclasses in the Buryat game "Shagai Naadan" are also planned.

Registration of participants starts at 10:00 and will last until 11:00, the competitions themselves will be held from 11:00 to 19:00, and immediately after the end of the event there will be an award ceremony. The absolute champion of the tournament will get a prize of 50 thousand rubles.

"Һeer shaalgan (Seer hukhalkha)" — breaking a spine bone, an ancient Buryat-Mongolian type of traditional game where participants compete in the ability to break the spine bone of cattle "Һe'er (Se'er)". One of the conditions of the competition is that the hands must be bare, i.e. without gloves or other means of protection. The blow should be not so much strong as accurate — before breaking a bone, the participant should determine its weakest point, and the strength of spirit will help where the usual muscles are not enough.

The organizers of the event are the IRPO Federation of the National Game "Seer Khukhalkha", RPO Federation of the Buryat Sports Game "Talaan Tobsho Naadan" and the Department of National Sports of the Ministry of Sports and Youth Policy of the Republic of Buryatia.
