LONDON (AP) --- Sumo wrestlers bring 1,500 years of tradition to London's Royal
Albert Hall.
It marks only the second time the elite five-day tournament will be held
outside Japan. The first was in 1991 at the same venue.
Organizers of the London event say they hope to show Japan's rich culture as
well as its traditional sport that pits two huge men clad in very little
against each other in a test of strength and technique.
