- Two wrestlers / oponents fight against each other.
- How to win / lose: the wrestler who first exits the ring or touches the ground with any part of his body besides the soles of his feet loses.
- Duration: A contest usually lasts only a few seconds, but in rare cases can take a minute or more.
- Other singularities: There are no weight restrictions or classes in sumo, meaning that wrestlers can easily find themselves matched off against someone many times their size. As a result, weight gain is an essential part of sumo training.]]> 2017-09-28 10:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/btorrijo/1euq3u665xrc/wish/192002070 btorrijo https://padlet.com/btorrijo/1euq3u665xrc/wish/192002217 - Matches take place on an elevated ring (dohyo), which is made of clay and covered in a layer of sand.
