Oil Wrestling
Oil wrestling ( tr, Yağlı güreş), also called grease wrestling, is a traditional Turkish sport, where participants, called ''pehlivan'' (wrestlers) or ''baspehlivan'' (master wrestlers), wrestle while covered in oil. Competitions are held in ''proving grounds''. One challenge of oil wrestling is that oiling the wrestlers' bodies makes it harder to grab each other. Oil wrestling was performed by ancient communities 4,500 years ago in Thrace and the Balkans.
