I wish there was more coverage on this event. According to the Wikipedia, my country (Canada) won two Bronze medals, but I can’t find much more info.

The World Nomad Games, a cultural and sporting festival centred on traditional nomadic ‌sports, are happening in Kyrgyzstan this week.

Athletes from 104 countries are taking part in the games, which showcase sports of the Turkic peoples of Central Asia. Check out the various events, which end on Sunday.

Some photos and sources that I found:

      That’s really cool! I’d like to see it someday, thank you for sharing the photos. How close were you able to get to the various events? From the videos I found, it looked fairly casual.
