Overview
It is the Oldest Sport of the World! The muscled glory of oil-coated Turkish wrestling has a Guinness World Record for the longest running of all sports competition. KIRKPINAR, All about oilwrestling is the name of the book by Murat Kirbaçoglu and Mohamed el-Fers. It leads you through the ins and outs, do's and donts of the Olders Sport on Earth, held annually in the summer near Edirne, Turkey (formerly known as Adrianople). Although not a photobook on pocketsize, it has loads of pictures, all b/w and most grabs of what is known as the 'Pirelli Calendar for the Lady' by oilpainting artist M-Rat. But one small picture made my day: The oldest piece of evidence of oilwrestling from Assyria, made 4.660 years ago!
