Turkey's Oil Wrestlers 2009

Kirkpinar:
The tournament is named in honor of a 17th Century wrestling legend.

.

.

Every year since 1640 Turkey’s best wrestlers – men and boys – have gathered for their national championships on a grassy field.
.

About 1,000 barefoot grapplers compete, oiled up and stripped to the waist.
.

.

The anything-goes style and the oiled leather trunks originated with the "Janissaries", an elite of body guards to the imperial Sultans.
.

The new stadium is located on the Sultan’s palace, and Turkey’s president crowns the champions on the final day.
.



For three days the field is crowded with simultaneous matches, ranging from high school kids to forty-year-old masters.
.

The sun is hot and the fights are long.
.

.

After a half-hour, if there is no winner, the match decided with a sudden death overtime.
Grabbing of trunks is not off limits.
