📹The film ‘Wild Ride: World Nomad Games’

In 2026, Kyrgyzstan hosted the 6th World Nomad Games. Today, they are a spectacular competition that draws visitors from around the world, but once these disciplines were part of the everyday life of nomadic peoples.

Riders shoot arrows at full gallop, while kok-boru teams try to throw a goat carcass into their opponents’ goal. But behind the sporting excitement lies something more — the memory of ancestors, traditions and culture that people are trying to preserve and pass on to the next generation.

Correspondent Tofurious Crane goes behind the scenes of the Games and tries some of the disciplines himself. See how ancient traditions survive in the modern world in Natalia Karachkova’s film ‘Wild Ride: World Nomad Games.’
