THE STAMPEDING HORDE
![]() |
A rare slipping, tumbling and somersaulting exhibition
was held at Hamacho Park in downtown Tokyo Thursday morning as pot-bellied,
piano-legged sumo wrestlers lumbered down a racecourse.
The fondest numbers of the field meet for the hard
sweating sumo giants were beer drinking, beer barrel rolling and eel snaring
contests.
