Go Mongolia

Yesterday Mongolia won it's very first gold medal in the Olympics.  The only other medal they have ever won was a bronze.  So this was the first time the Mongolian National Anthem was ever played.  The guy won in Judo, he did some really cool 100 point flip (technical judo lingo) and won the match.  It was truly touching to watch his face when the anthem played, he almost cried, but caught himself, Mongolians are very reserved when it comes to emotions.  It was really funny because outside we could here people cheering and screaming "You're the Man" (in Mongolian, of course) and then after the sun went down there were fireworks and all the news stations kept replaying the award ceremony.  In the TV studio when the anthem was being played the anchormen even stood up and put their hand over their heart while it played.  They are all so proud, I am proud for them.
