Azerbaijani athletes excelled at the 5th World Nomad Games held in Kazakhstan’s capital of Astana, bagging seven medals for their country.
Azerbaijan recorded a haul of two silver and five bronze medals after 6-day competitions.
The World Nomad Games, the international sports competitions in ethnic sports, brought together 2500 participants from more than 89 countries.
Dubbed the “Great Gathering on the Steppe”, the Olympics of the nomadic world is a spectacular celebration of traditional sports, identity and culture from across inner Asia.
The World Nomad Games take place every two years and shifts locations as frequently as the nomads it celebrates. The next event in 2026 will likely head back to Kyrgyzstan, where the inaugural event began in 2014.
