Story
Twelve years on, the Games returned to where they began — but returned different: two cities instead of one, an opening ceremony at the Bishkek arena, the sporting and cultural programmes in Cholpon-Ata and Kyrchyn.
Forty-three sports — more than ever before. Events that had dropped out of the compact editions returned, and new schools of archery and wrestling were added.
The sixth Games were the point at which the platform finally stopped being one country's event: Kyrgyzstan hosts the Games as a venue, not as its own holiday.
United in strength, united in spirit.
What stayed
Two venues
Ceremonies in Bishkek, sport and culture in Cholpon-Ata and Kyrchyn.
