Why do Mongolian wrestlers hide behind two people before entering the arena?

Traditional ceremony. In Mongolian wrestling, it is a traditional ceremony for the contestants to hide behind two people before the competition, which is called del. Before the competition, the wrestlers will wear Del on their backs by two assistants to show the solemnity and majesty of the wrestlers. This traditional ceremony is symbolic and represents the respect and honor of Mongolian wrestling. The way of participation behind the two men can also be traced back to the cavalry culture on the Mongolian grassland in the past. Cavalry will wear del to demonstrate strictness on the battlefield.
