Kyzgyz horse riders compete during a kok boru, also called ulak tartysh, a traditional game in which players on horseback manoeuvre with a goat's carcass and score by putting it into the opponents' goal outside Tash-Dobo village, 15 kilometers (9,4 Miles) south of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, Saturday, December 12, 2020. The game has its origins in the distant past, when men went to hunt wolves that attacked their livestock, picking up running wolves from the ground and throwing them between each other almost playfully. The game today requires teams to throw a dead sheep or goat into their opponent's well on the playing field. (Photo by Vladimir Voronin/AP Photo)
