Russia won the Sumo World Championship
Sports victories of the motherland are always pleasant, and it does not matter in which sport cups and medals are won: beach soccer or sumo. And this is not a joke at all — Russia really won the Sumo World Championship. Guess who took second place?
But, as commentators on Pikabu write, in fact this Taiwanese championship is nothing more than an amateur tournament, while professional sumo tournaments are held only in Japan itself and only 6 times a year. All the strongest athletes take part in them, including all yokozuna (the highest rank of a sumo wrestler). And at this event from Japan there were those sumo wrestlers who could not break into the professionals or at best have a low rank.
