It happened that I was going to the beach to take a swim and I stumble upon the annual Tatar Fighting contest:

For this year the contest was held on the beach.

Fun fact : Kureş (or tatar fight) is an ancient tatar sport originating in Central Asia where fighters faught to show who is the most strongest fighter.
The Tatars from Dobrogea, Romania ( my place) are the descendants of the tatars from the "Golden Horde", a place held by a decendent of Ginghis Han.
