    World Nomad Games

    Olympic'd out? Or just want to watch more international sporting competitions? Get ready for the World Nomad Games.

    Opening September 3 and running through September 8.

    http://worldnomadgames.com/en/

    Forty-one (41) nations participating, including USA. Hosted by Kyrgyz Republic.

    A variety of individual and team sports involving traditional nomadic skills of horsemanship, archery, wrestling, spear/javelin, horse combat, intellect, and games that involve eaglery and falconry and dog hunting skills.

    My favorite has to be Kok-Boru, a full contact form of rugby on horseback using a stuffed goat or sheep as the playing ball.

    "Let it not be said that we did nothing." - Dr. Ron Paul. "Stand up for what you believe in, even if you are standing alone." - Sophie Magdalena Scholl
    "War is the health of the State." - Randolph Bourne "Freedom is the answer. ... Now, what's the question?" - Ernie Hancock.

    How much you wanna bet oyarde played that in his youth?

    I wonder what the "intellect" competition is....trivia pursuit? Seriously, though, it looks more fun than the Olympics.
