LET'S GET READY TO SUMO!!!

Sumo wrestling is a sport going back several centuries. The matches are very deeply rooted in religious Shinto tones. An example would be the salt throwing at the beginning of every match which is said to remove evil spirits. Although the actual match lasts only a few moments, the events leading up can last for several minutes which add to the excitement.
