 The term "Güreş" is shared with other forms of wrestling practiced by Turkic speakers across Europe and Central Asia, such as the Uzbek kurash, Tuvan khuresh and Tatar köräş.The wrestlers, known as pehlivan (meaning "hero" or "champion"), wear a type of hand-stitched leather trousers called a "kisbet" (sometimes "kispet"), which is traditionally made of water buffalo hide, and most recently has been made of calfskin.Unlike Olympic wrestling, oil wrestling matches may be won by achieving an effective hold of the kisbet.
