Kyrgyz rider picking up coins from the ground at the Barskoon

Ref: 071104-3052     Date: 04-11-2007

This Kyrgyz rider is just about to snatch some 'coins' wrapped in red cloth from the ground and then through it into the air. His previous snatch is still falling. Maybe the referee will catch it before it hits the ground. This traditional sport is called Tyin Enmei.
