Sumó weight categories
Amateur sumó has weight classes, so that rikishi of all sizes
can compete on an equal footing. Amateur sumó also has women divisions. Both of
these attributes were developed in order for sumó to satisfy International
Olympic Committee criteria, so that sumó can become an Olympic sport.
