Oil wrestling? What's that then?

EDIT: This is one of the most popular sports in Turkey. Yagli gures means literally oiled wrestling. The wrestlers wear tight short leather trousers called "Kispet", made of water buffalo leather weighing approximately 13 kilograms, and they cover themselves with olive oil. Matches take place throughout the country but the most famous and most important tournament takes place in Edirne by the end of June-beginning of July.

Well the first thing I have learned is how to spell "knowledge", or do Virgin's spell it differently?
