I think that some people was payed for watch the event.. they are a lot and they wear a pass  

That does look odd that the entire audience are wearing matching track suits and caps! Might be a strange dress code for Turkmenistani sports events!

Well Turkmenistan is basically an open and calmer North Korea with religion So I'm not surprised.

 

And the "traditional wrestling" is actually Turkmen wrestling, where athletes are mostly judoka or wrestler. Too many wrestling..

This other channel also broadcast the Games: http://tv.online.tm/ch006.html

 

Basically you can just switch between channels at that site, Turkmen Sport and Asgabat are the ones that will be non-stop broadcasting

I think that you know how this games are.. we'll have some good athletes in the other sports? Or it's only a Turkmenistan show?

These 2 events today (jiujitsu and traditional wrestling) are Turkmen show. Same thing you can expect in wrestling-related events too.

 

But not in the mainstream sports like track cycling, swimming, athletics, etc.
