Fun fact: Arctic Sports (aka Native Youth Olympics in Alaska) mimics the skills used during traditional hunting and gathering during the long winter months!
Arctic Sports consists of several unique events that highlight an athlete’s endurance, flexibility, and strength, like the Alaskan High Kick (first photo), One-Foot High Kick (second photo), Two-Foot High Kick (third), Ear Pull (fourth), and more!
