The Yakut are the northernmost Turkic-speaking people, who created the original cattle breeding and horse breeding culture in north-east Asia, that is in the valleys of the Lena, Iana, Indigirka and Kolyma rivers. Yakutia became a part of Russia in 1720-30s. Rich and unique is their oral poetic art, the collection and research of which is closely connected with the development of science and sociopolitical ideas in Russia. As a folklore genre Olonkho unites more or less similar legends having a common moral and esthetic system, a stable structure of plot and composition, and traditional characters. Kyys Debeliie Bukhatyyr is one of the best samples of Yakut olonkho. A legend about women athletes, very popular throughout Yakutia, is published for the first time. Parallel text in Russian and Yakut. Comments. Summary in English.
