ULAAN BATAAR, Mongolia — A skin-baring protest by a pair of Mongolian wrestling coaches at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics might have struck some observers as slightly bizarre. While Ganzorig, who had already started celebrating, fell to his knees in disappointment, his coaches went much further. “Everyone can see from the video recording of the wrestling that Mandakhnaran was the better wrestler. Stripping one’s clothes off is considered an acceptable way of peacefully protesting a decision and the coach’s actions were widely embraced. “The internet loves the Mongolian coaches for this protest action,” said Myagmardorj Boldbaatar, an entrepreneur and active social media user.
