    That cat in the third shot down facing the camera looks like he might be just a little overmatched in the weight class!

    Looks like he might have just figured that out too!

    How do these guys do it? They don't look at all agile.

    The one wrestler seems a bit slender for a sumo. Great action shots. Feels as if the floors should shake when they stomp!

    That is so cool, and original. I love how they sit.

    the contrast in sizes in the 3rd pic is funny.

    Yes, I feel sorry for the slender one also. Does not seem fair!

    Happy WW!

    That guy in the first picture looks like he's doing yoga - I didn't realize wrestlers would be that flexible!
