The Olympics Games are the pinnacle for many of the world's leading sportsmen and women - but for horse-back wrestlers, bone-throwers and eagle hunters it's the World Nomad Games.
The Olympics Games are the pinnacle for many of the world's leading sportsmen and women - but for horse-back wrestlers, bone-throwers and eagle hunters it's the World Nomad Games. Kyrgyzstan hosts the Games and they are an important part of the regions drive to re-establish its Nomad identity and traditions, 25 years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. One of the most important Nomad folk heroes is a female warrior called Saikal. As part of the BBC's 100 Women season Olga Ivshina visited the Games in search of Central Asia's modern day Nomad warrior women.
