Clutching a bow and arrow and riding helmet in a remote gorge in northern Kyrgyzstan, London-based executive coach Becca Sweetman is a long way from home.
"About eight years ago a friend asked if I wanted to have a go at horseback archery and I just got hooked on this amazing sport," she said.
"So, I've been competing for the last eight years for the Great Britain team."
Sweetman is one of many Western athletes to make the trek out to Central Asia for the Nomad Games, a biannual tournament of traditional nomad sports, mostly originating from Central Asia. Aside from horse archery, they include various styles of wrestling, falconry, and traditional board games.
Since the inaugural edition in 2014, the Nomad Games have gone from strength to strength.
