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.
