Nyamgeral replied, “Mongolian girls are so beautiful.” She went on to perform an impressive routine involving contortion and archery. She started by showing off some amazing contortion moves on a platform, bending over backwards and even balancing on one hand.
She then grabbed a bow and arrow. While balancing on her hands, she lifted the bow into the air with her feet and shot an arrow over her head into the center of a target. The Got Talent crowd and the judges went wild with cheers.
What Did The Judges Think Of Her Audition?
“You’re a lot of woman,” David told Nyamgeral after her audition. Jay Park complimented “the amount of control” she had during the performance, calling it “ridiculous.”

“I think you just hit David in the heart,” Anggun remarked, making David laugh. He confirmed to Nyamgeral, “You stole my heart, but with your talent.” All three judges voted “yes” to sending her to the next round.
“There’s a lot of contortionists, but she was so graceful,” David said after she left. Jay added that she got the arrow “dead in the middle” of the target, which made it even more impressive.
