Oil Wrestling
Oil wrestling is held around the world, though one of the oldest competitions is in Kirkpinar, Edirne Turkey, held in June each year. The wrestling is part of a festival, dating back to 1357 celebrating an Ottoman victory. As you can imagine, the contest involves men covered in oil trying to wrestle the other to the ground - maybe not everyone's idea of fun.
