Stories say that there was sumo wrestling over 2,000 years ago. History says that there were national sumo tournaments in the eighth century.
Often athletes are thin and can move very quickly. It is beautiful to watch them play. However, sumo wrestlers weigh from 100 to 160 kilos. One famous wrestler weighed 195 kilos. Sumo wrestlers do not look beautiful, and sumo wrestling is very slow sport.
Sumo wrestlers wrestle in a round ring with a sand floor. A wrestler loses the match if he leaves the ring. He is also the loser if any part of the body except his feet touches the floor. Each wrestler tries to push the other down on the floor or out of the ring.
