Sumo is a traditional Japanese style of wrestling. It appeared in Japan a very long time ago.

Only men usually can take part in these competitions. Athletes who want to compete in sumo are called rikishi.

Sumo keeps a lot of ancient traditions, and it has got many ritual elements.

Rikishi gain weight as a natural part of training. They eat up to 7,000 calories per day! Professional players usually reach 150–200 kg. Extra weight can't make you a champion though, as people become slower and weaker. Many sumo wrestlers are known to be quite unhealthy.
