Nomad 'Olympics' in Kyryzystan, buzkashi-kokpar

 Salvete Omnes,



the Eurasian Nomads are having their own games,  their Olympics right now in Bishek and Issyk-Kul (Astana Times report), Kyrgyzstan. 



One of my favorite nomadic sports to watch  is buzkashi (kokpar, kok-boru, Ulak-Tartysh) or 'goat wrestling.'  There is even an American kokpar team participating - cowboys
