These are the Kings of the Mountain, the Mightiest of the Mighty.
Video Grabs Edirne Day Two (1)

Champion 2006
It's the second of Kirkpinar's three days, and today the Mighty Gorillas join the other twelve divisions in the elimination circus. We're dashing all over the big field to capture the hardest, the best-paired, the sweatiest, the wildest matches from the scores of colliding fighters (colliding with each other and, occasionally, with our luckless videographers!). More highlights: A buff little Turk who is also on their Olympic squad and has a terrific sense of humor manhandles a much bigger wrestler... A perennial winner, muscles popping, repeatedly lifts and throws his opponents... More buddy shots... A rare outbreak of tempers, fists clenched.
