Goat dragging: Like polo, but with dead goats. Known as Kok-boru,  it is a competition that is part of Navruz celebrations, an ancient holiday marking the spring equinox, in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek.

Considered Kyrgyzstan’s national sport, Kok-boru is a traditional Central Asian game where players grab a goat carcass from the ground while riding their horses and try to score by placing it in their opponent’s goal. REUTERS/Vladimir Pirogov
