Buzkashi is a traditional Central Asian sport involving horsemen competing to control a goat carcass.
Buzkashi, Afghanistan's national equestrian competition, showcases elite riders who must carry a leather-wrapped bundle historically a goat carcass but now a weighted facsimile across a designated goal line to earn points. Amid swirling dust clouds kicked up by galloping horses, a victor ultimately prevailed. The winning team took a celebratory circuit around the field, proudly displaying their flag in triumph.
