Super Sumo in Tokyo

Today was the best day in Tokyo. We have done some really amazing things but nothing can compare too box seats at the Sumo.
We were in row 14, up the back, but you would still see really well. I chose Kotozukura as my favourite for the day- he is ranked as number 1 Japanese wrestler. He is the level below the Yokozuuna, which is the grand champion - the best of the best. Kotozukra was lime green and orange and his wrestling outfit was green. The person that you are going for has a towel and you wave that towel when they are wrestling. It is very important to only be positive during the whole event- no booing for the opposition. It was a fantastic day- you would think you might get bored, but no way! The day flew by! A match could go for 1 second or 10 minutes.
There is only 1 Yokozuna at a time and they earn around $30000 per month. They also win lots of money for matches and have lots of sponsorship deals. They wear a special white belt.
My match was a bit of an upset because Kotozakura didn't win, and he was expected to. It's so entertaining to watch- one second you think that one wrestlers is about to fall outside the ring, but he keeps his balance and the match continues. There are lots of different types of takeout moves, I think over 70.
The stadium was packed, not a spare seat. The whole January tournament is sold out so we were lucky.
When the Yokozuna came out for the last match everyone went wild. And when he lost the crowd went berserk. Everyone throws their pillow up in the air if they lose. At the end of the day an old man (maybe a retired sumo?comeses out with a long gold sword and does a dance.
I can't describe how much I loved going to the Sumo today.Read more
