The World’s Smallest Sumo Wrestler Gets Run Over: The Video

A video of the debut match between the world’s lightest sumo wrestler, 15-year-old Shinmichi, and 21-year-old Toramusashi is sparking both laughter and bewilderment. The weight difference between the two was clearly evident during the match, which lasted only a few seconds.
Shinmichi, weighing just 57 kg, stood no chance against his 150-kg opponent, who instantly pushed him off the dohyō. The footage immediately went viral on social media. The very young Shinmichi has a long way to go and plenty of meals to eat before he reaches the highest levels of this prestigious and traditional Japanese sport, but he certainly doesn’t lack courage.
15-year-old Shinmichi (125 lbs), the lightest active sumo wrestler, made his debut against 21-year-old Toramusashi (330 lbs). 😳 https://t.co/WpSIPccyui
