A sumo wrap, holding the mawashi
Going back to Sunday's column on the Grand Sumo Tournament, some of the photos from the Sports Arena that Associated Press photographer Jeff Lewis was able to snap off:
==As part of the Saturday exhibition, this kid was able to enter the ring and size up his opponent:
==The competitors line up as the national anthems play:
==Asashoryu, left,and Hakuho prepare to get it on:
==And eventually, Asashoryu picks up Hakuho and throws him out of the ring:
==Asashoryu then tosses some salt before his next match, against Tokitenku:
==Yoshikaze pushes Iwakiyama around in their first-round match:
==Ama of Mongolia tosses Toyohibiki of Japan out of the ring:
==Finally, ESPN's Chris Berman wrestles with his golf swing at a recent Pebble Beach event where he claims to be an 18 handicap ... sorry, how'd that photo get in with the other sumo stuff .. and unfortunately, he'll be hosting ESPN's coverage of the first two rounds of the U.S. Open from Torrey Pines this week:
