Yagli gures

Yagli gures, also known as oil wrestling, is a sport where two people wrestle each other covered in oil. The oil is used to make it harder for one wrestler to grab onto the other wrestler's body.

The wrestlers wear special pants called "kispet" that are made of leather and are oiled up. These pants can be black or red, and have a belt that the wrestler can use to grab onto.

During the match, the wrestlers try to get the other wrestler on their back with their shoulders touching the ground. The match can last up to 40 minutes, and there are no points.

The winner is determined when one wrestler successfully gets the other on their back. This can be a very tough sport because it requires a lot of strength, strategy, and endurance to win.

Yagli gures is very popular in Turkey and is considered a national sport. It's also a great way for people to come together and have fun while watching the match.
