I finally got to see some of the events today! Ryan and I went to the open-weight sumo competition, and to rhythmic gymnastics (picture to come later).
"Open-weight" means that the wrestlers were not divided into weight classes, and so there were some wee ones pitted against the bigguns. This little girl, as I remember, was picked up and placed outside the ring, instead of being pushed, which gave everyone a good laugh. But there was one little girl who actually beat a much much heavier one - an interesting match.
Today was the first time I heard of skinny sumo wrestlers, and also the first time I realized that there is female sumo wrestling. There you go.
