August, 15 was 'khuresh' day--it's considered to be the climax of the national festival. Khuresh Stadium, where the main wrestling competition takes place, was overcrowded. There was little hope that there would be a tense fight for 1st place, as Ayas Mongush has proven to be invincible for the last 14 years. His reign of victory began when he was 18 years old and he remains undefeated. His title in the Republic is Amyrga (Hercules).
