It 's a fat wrestling match .

It is held in Edirne every year from the end of June to the beginning of July. The Pehlivans fight for three days in the square. In the finals held on the last day, the first, second and third places of each neck (category) are determined. The most important of these is the prosecutor. During the wrestling, the Kırkpınar Festival is organized and various activities are carried out.

Greasy wrestling is a sport that is at the forefront of traditional Turkish sports. Wrestling was held at all the fairs held throughout the Ottoman Empire, but only the one who won the title at Kırkpınar was known as "başpehlivan" until the next year's Kırkpınar wrestling. This thinking continues to this day.
