At the risk of sounding sexist... which shouldn't really be an issue considering the industry, this would make a great sport if they replaced the men with women.

EDIRNE, Turkey (AP) - To an Ottoman band's relentless drum pounding and whirring of clarinets, Saban Yilmaz entered the wrestling stadium and poured two full pitchers of extra virgin olive oil over his hulking torso.

After nearly an hour of slow, deliberate grappling and a few blunt slaps that sent oil and sweat spraying onto the uncut grass, Yilmaz tossed his opponent onto his back in an explosion of strength to win the 644th annual Kirkpinar oil wrestling championship - one of the world's oldest sporting events.

The sport itself is simple. A wrestler wins either by throwing his opponent onto his back or by lifting him into the air and taking three steps. The oil makes it very difficult to get a grip, inspiring one of the sport's most common moves - where one wrestler thrusts his hands deep into the other's pants for leverage.

The event has become a huge outlet for Turkish national pride, with announcers constantly invoking God and Islam's prophet Muhammad to expound on the greatness of the wrestlers - called pehlivans - and the strength of the Turkish people, who trace the origins of the tournament back to the time when their ancestors' armies were building an empire.
