Sumo Wrestlers Throw Down in 40-Yard Sprint


One of the most entertaining track races to date was not run by the fastest man on the planet Usain Bolt, but by three sumo wrestlers in a 40-yard sprint. 
 
You read that correctly. Sumo wrestlers. 
 
The video was posted on Twitter by sumo wrestler Masakatsu Ishiura as the wrestlers were touring in Wakayama, Japan. The race is everything you could ever hope for. 
“The Wakayama tour today! There was a hot battle in out of the ring Seki from the front Tenpu, IsaoHo, Kitenshu Mr.” Ishiura wrote in the video description, according to a translation. 

As the video shows, it appears the wrestler in the middle won by a nose.
