This young woman, belonging to the Tsaatan tribe in Mongolia, Central Asia, is riding a deer. She is one of 500 people considered the last reindeer herders in Mongolia.
The Dhuka people, also called the Tsaatan, are known as the "people with reindeer" in Mongolian. They are the last group in the world to ride reindeer. There are only a few hundred of them left, and it's believed fewer than 50 families still live this way, though no exact count exists.
Huge congratulations to Team Mongolia on an outstanding performance on Physical: Asia! Finishing on the podium among the very best in Asia is an achievement worth celebrating. Your determination, grit, and warrior spirit inspired us all. We are proud of you. π²π³π²π³π²π³πͺπͺπͺ
Throughout the entire competition, the one and only woman who could truly go head-to-head and match the men blow for blow was a Mongolian woman.
Pure pride. π²π³π₯

In Mongolia, instead of a street address, a three-word phrase is used for each nine-square-meter plot of land. It is used because of the nomadic lifestyle in the country and there are less street names.
Physical Asia is streaming on Netflix, featuring eight teams across the regionβand Mongolia is holding strong. Four teams eliminated, four still flexing. Proud of ours: they have endurance, heart, and a game plan tighter than a wrestling knot.
Mongolia ATE DOWN for 41 mins
