Day One of the 2000 Kirkpinar finds the showers, the bleachers and the field jammed with kids, teens and young men itching for a fight (and the prize money in Turkish Lire for each match won). Before the first wave of wrestlers is sent out, they are greasing up and horsing around, kidding and scrimmaging. Once they take the field, however, they are suddenly all business. Immediately forty pairs of opponents are thrashing around in the uncut grass like mortal enemies. This record of Day One shows the sweatiest, most intense bouts of the day.
