TRANSLATION

Sumo is a national sport of Japan that has existed since ancient times.

Two wrestlers compete for victory on top of a round clay ring.

You win if you push the opponent out, or make their body touch the ground.

They fight by pushing with the hands or throwing the opponent sideways.

The strongest wrestler is called a "yokozuna".

At famous venues, many people come to watch.
