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

"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.
The
"Library of the Future" hall features works by science fiction
writers who were ahead of their time in many ways.
