"False Start" from Francesca Cimino on Vimeo.

SUMO is such a funny sport -- so solemnly loved by the Japanese, but funny anyway. The rules have recently changed to force both competitors to have their hands on the ground before lunging at each other.  It's caused some rather hot discussions about why this changed needed to be made and how it's being enforced...the commentators were talking about it like it was instant replay...but as you'll see...you can "false start".
