但是在这两项赛事中间,还有一项风格迥异的国际体育赛事在中亚举行。这项赛事中没有跑步、游泳和篮球,运动员们参加的是鹰猎、传统草原摔跤和搭建蒙古包等项目。

周四是世界游牧民族运动会的最后一天。游牧民族的人总是四处搬家,而不会永远定居在一个地方。来自超过40个国家的选手齐聚吉尔吉斯斯坦东部,就为参加为期六天的比赛。


It included more than 20 sports and games that are traditional to nomadic 3 cultures around the world.The unique event has trended this week on social media.

叼羊是人们谈论最多的项目之一。两支队伍要抢夺一只没有头的山羊。比赛目标就是把山羊带到另一支队伍那边。这是很难的,因为选手们都骑在马背上。

这个受欢迎的比赛项目在中亚地区广为流行,但是在各地的名字不一样。叼羊决赛在周四举行。吉尔吉斯斯坦队以15-3击败了哈萨克斯坦队获得冠军。中国队获得第三名。
