Confrontation of tradition, strength and technique soaked in oil … Before the match, this wrestler is not only demonstrating strength by applying olive oil on his body but is also performing the centuries -old tradition. This scene is of Turkish traditional ‘Oil Wrestling’, which has now been included in UNESCO’s abstract cultural heritage list. In this game, wrestlers are bathed with olive oil from head to toe, so that it becomes difficult to catch and there is a real power and technique test. (AP)
