Like the year before, we go first to Edirne and the national Kirkpinar tournament. The matches have never been better and the crowd goes wild for its favorites. The matchups between the kids and young men are wild and fast-paced, while the heavyweights generally wear down their victims. Last year’s champ is eliminated in the semis, and the gold belt goes back to Ahmet Tasci, the man who has won the gold belt more often than any wrestler in history.
