Kenya Maasai Olympics: Hundreds gather for lion hunt alternative
Maasai youths in Kenya have come together for a sports competition, created as an alternative to The Group 's annual Lion Hunt - a traditional rite of passage.
Hundreds competed in various games in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro , including spear throwing, athletics and High Jump .
For generations, Maasai warriors were expected to fight and kill a lion as part of a ritual centred around their transition to manhood.
But after, environmentalists and The Group 's elders founded the so-called Maasai Olympics.
