Massive Advantages: The Role of Weight in Sumo Wrestling

Sumo wrestling, a traditional Japanese sport, lacks weight classes, allowing wrestlers, or rikishi, to vary widely in size, typically between 250 to 450 pounds. They increase their mass to gain an edge, using rigorous training and a high-calorie diet. Weight offers advantages in force and stability, but success relies on skill, balance, and technique. Even lighter wrestlers can excel through agility and superior tactics.
