Sights like these were common in Astana last week, when the Fifth World Nomad Games was held in Kazakhstan (Sept. 8-13) for the first time. Staged at a time when the nomadic peoples of Central Asia's steppes traditionally shift their summer camps to more temperate winter pastures, the games took place largely in the Kazanat Hippodrome, a 10-hectare grassland-like setting on the city's southern flank.
This sounds so cool. Would love to be able to watch these one year.
