In this Sunday, July 15, 2018 photo, participants wrestle during the 657th annual Kirkpinar Oil Wrestling Festival in Edirne, northwestern Turkey. Every summer, hundreds of men, known as pehlivan, a word associated with strength in Turkish _ don nothing but intricately decorated, long leather shorts and generously pour olive oil over each other's backs, arms, and legs.
