All-in wrestling (pankration) was decided by a submission, which the beaten contestant signalled by raising his hand with the index finger extended. . . .The contestants for both styles of wrestling rubbed themselves down with oil and sprinkled fine sand over their bodies before a fight. The ground had to be carefully prepared for wrestling. There are innumerable vase paintings showing athletes with the picks they used to break up the ground. . . .. . .
