The Midnight Q Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Very big, very fit and very motivated. Contrary to popular belief, sumo wrestlers are relatively healthy since they are athletes. Much of their weight is mostly muscle anyway. If you think about weightlifters, they all look pretty "fat" although it's all muscle. They also need to be very motivated and have good sportsmanship. The rules of sumo are actually pretty strict compared to other sports when it comes to rivalry, doping and cheating. There's a lot of honor involved to be a sumo wrestler; in Japan, the sport of sumo is very much a part of the Japanese culture. It's almost sacred. ---Btw I think this should be in the Sports forum.
