It's a long way from Rio.....

The Nomad Games are underway - and couldn't be more different from the Rio Olympics.

They are being staged in Kyrgyzstan, celebrating the traditional sports of Central Asia. Over 40 nations are represented and compete in eagle hunting, stick wrestling, kok boru (goat carcass polo). Gulnara Gulnara Kasmambetova is there for the 大象传媒.
