    This paper is devoted to the geometry and integrability of non-holonomic geodesic flows of left-invariant metrics and left-invariant non-integrable distributions on compact Lie groups. The equations of geodesic flows are reduced to the Euler-Poincaré-Suslov equations on the corresponding Lie algebras. Moreover the author gives examples of non-holonomic geodesic flows that can be seen as a restriction of integrable sub-Riemannian geodesic flows.
