A Scots grandmother has set herself a grueling physical challenge to help her cope with ”unbearable grief”. Mavis Paterson. 84, will spend her 85th birthday cycling around Scotland, covering more than 1,000 miles for cancer charity. Her pedals will be powered by heart-breaking personal tragedy. ”Granny Mave” as she is known, will be riding in memory of her three children who all died within four years. Her son Sandy died of a heart attack in 2012, daughter Katie of viral pneumonia in 2013, and son Bob died in an accident in 2016. They were all in their 40s.

The sport of kokpar is like blood soaked polo match, with a headless goat carcass as the ball. Kokpar is one of the oldest nomadic games in Kazakhstan and is said to have originated with Genghis Khan’s early-13th-century mounted raiders. Matches would typically consist of 50 or 100 men and boys on horseback coming together in a clash of sweat and blood, with shouting riders and rearing horses. Many Western critics are shell shocked by the idea of using a disemboweled goat in sport yet the game is still played this way across central Asia, but in recent years it has become increasingly professionalized, with salaries for players and televised matches.
