Semi related but since wrestling was mentioned in the meetup thread, do u guys know the objective for winning in Turkish wrestling? Let's use this thread as a chance to learn a bit about it
>Oil wrestling also called Turkish oil wrestling, is the national sport of Turkey.
>Oil wrestling was performed by ancient communities 4,500 years ago in Thrace and the Balkans. As the Ottoman Empire extended into Europe, oil wrestling competitions have been held ceremoniously until modern times.
>Practices similar to oil wrestling can be traced back to ancient Sumer and Babylon. It was also a popular sport amongst the Ancient Greeks and the Romans.
>The annual Kırkpınar tournament, held in Edirne in Turkish Thrace since 1346, is the oldest continuously running, sanctioned sporting competition in the world.

>A wrestler's garment comprises only leather pants below the knee called kıspet.
>According to the rules of oil wrestling, the loser is the wrestler whose back touches the ground as a result of the opponent's actions ("showing belly to the stars"); sitting supported by two hands behind them; touching the ground with both elbows or elbow and hand. The winner is the wrestler who raises his opponent and either carries him three steps or spins him around. If a wrestler's kıspet gets pulled down (revealing his genitals), he loses as well, though losing under such circumstances is unlikely.
