The sixth Nomad Games closed with a grand concert and ceremony at the venue of the games, the great hippodrome in Cholpon Ata on the shore of the Issyk-Kul lake in Kyrgyzstan.
But, not before they gave the spectators the treat they had been waiting for for two years, the finals in kokpar and kok boru equestrian games by far the most popular event in any Nomad Games. Kokpar is traditionally Kazakh game and kok boru Kyrgyz. They are very similar, requiring the mounted teams of four players to carry a weighted dummy (representing a goat carcass) to the opponents huge pot (kok boru) or circle marked on the ground (kokpar).
