Turkish Wrestling Championships

JulyYagli gures, or "grease wrestling," is Turkey's most popular sport. An annual wrestling tournament has been held in July at Kirkpinar, near the Turkish-Greek border, for more than six centuries. The competitors cover their bodies and their leather knee breeches with oil, making it extremely difficult to get a grip on one's opponent. Although the Turks have proved their superiority at wrestling at many Olympic Games, this national form of the sport requires exceptional skill and strength training.
