Wrestling (Turkish: ''güreş'') is considered as an "ancestral sport" in Turkey, represented foremost by the annual Kırkpınar tournament in oil wrestling. Along with various highly esteemed styles of folk wrestling (known colloquially as ''çayır güreşi'' ("meadow wrestling") because bouts are held on grass fields), olympic wrestling (known colloquially as ''minder güreşi'' ("mat wrestling")) is widely practiced, while Greco-Roman wrestling is less popular due to freestyle wrestling's technical affinity with folk wrestling. Turkey currently has only one professional wrestling promotion, Turkish Power Wrestling founded in 2010. == Folk wrestling == *Styles practised nationwide (sanctioned by the Turkish Wrestling Federation): * *Oil wrestling * *Karakucak *Styles practised locally (sanctioned by the Turkey Traditional Sport Branches Federation): * *''Aba güreşi'' (in Gaziantep and Hatay) * *''Şalvar güreşi'' or ''kısa şalvar güreşi'' (in Kahramanmaraş) * *''Kuşak güreşi'' or ''Tatar güreşi'' (among Crimean Tatar population) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wrestling in Turkey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
