Lost in Sumo Wrestling

Washington Post has a very interesting article on Sumo Wrestling in the U.S., in which a 36-year old former truck driver turned Sumo Wrestler, weighed 420 pounds(210 Kgs), Kelly Gneiting "had goose bumps because I knew that's what I'd be really good at".

The tone of the article, titled Middle America?, is light, funny and full of wisdom, What I like the most is about wrestler's butts:

"Ahh, the buttocks. It does take a little getting used to. In sumo, a spectator is exposed to a wide landscape of fleshy, jiggling, muscular (and sometimes less so) bottoms, because remember that in sumo, the two fighters begin their contest from a low squat, like football linemen. Depending on a fan's vantage point in the arena, one could indeed see all the way to France."
