These are the Kings of the Mountain, the Mightiest of the Mighty.

Two regional tournaments complete this series, in Uluborlu and Altinyayla. The first opens with the ritual sacrifice of a ram. (You can fast-forward if you like.) Swarms of brawny fighters, not as many as Edirne, but greater freedom for the camera to get down by the action. At Altinyayla we are overnight house guests with a team from Manisa, and get some shots of Turkish home life. Wrestlers sure eat a lot! We thought this was our best year yet, and hope you will think so too.
