Who won the World Nomad Games? Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan report different medal counts

The 6th World Nomad Games ended without a confirmed overall winner after Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan published different medal totals.

Kyrgyzstan’s State Agency for Physical Culture and Sports said the host country finished first with 72 medals: 30 gold, 29 silver and 13 bronze. It placed Kazakhstan second with 64 medals, including 29 gold, 16 silver and 19 bronze.

Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports gave a different account. It said the national team won 74 medals, comprising 32 gold, 20 silver and 22 bronze, and finished first. Its tally gave Kyrgyzstan 84 medals, including 30 gold.

The most likely explanation is that the final day’s results were not fully included in the Kyrgyz table. Before the September 6 events, Kazakhstan had 58 medals: 26 gold, 14 silver and 18 bronze. Its athletes then won 16 more, including six gold, six silver and four bronze, producing the total claimed by Kazakhstan. The Kyrgyz table added only six medals to the earlier figure: three gold, two silver and one bronze.

Kazakhstan’s sports authorities said its athletes won four gold and two silver medals in toguz korgool, as well as two gold, two silver and one bronze in mangala on September 6. Organizers later removed the medal standings from social media and the Games website, saying a consolidated table would appear after official confirmation. Kyrgyzstan’s sports agency then said the Games’ concept did not include an official country medal table, contradicting the website’s medal standings section. Neither country can yet be declared the official winner.
