Sports?

I once won an award for a website that I created with a team that focused on unusual Olympic sports (woah!).  Here are some more unusual sports:

  • Kyz Kuu - "Kyz kuu or kyz kuumai, literally "girl chasing", is a traditional sport among the AzerbaijanisKazakhs and Kyrgyz."
  • Buzkashi - "Buzkashi is often compared to polo. Both games are played between people on horseback, both involve propelling an object toward a goal, and both get fairly rough. However, polo is played with a ball, and buzkashi is played with a headless goat carcass."

  1. Interesting how both sports are played on horseback by Central Asians.
