PARTICIPATION WAS VERY HIGH
Participation in the traditional Alanya Gökbel Highland Oil Wrestling Festival was much higher compared to previous years. After watching the Kubat concert on the first day, thousands of people who flocked to the Gökbel Festival area in their vehicles spent the night in the highland and attended the wrestling matches held the following day. In addition to the concerts, folk dances, off-road shows, and fireworks displays added color to the night.
TOURISTS ALSO WRESTLED
Tourist participation in the festivities was also quite high. Irish Tim Mulcahy and German Wolfgang Otto, who wrestled on the meadow wearing kispet and performed the pesrev to greet the spectators, received great applause from the audience.
