Wrestling is probably the most important  sport.  The wrestlers wear tiny little garments, and the goal is to throw the other person to the ground.  It is very similar to Sumo wrestling, but the matches last longer, sometimes up to 1 hour.
Funny story concerning the wrestling:  The wrestling outfits consist of a pair of Mongolian boots, pair of bikini shorts, and a shirt that is totally open on the front side with long sleeves.   The reason why the shirt is open on the front...  There was a woman who entered the wrestling competition many years ago.  She won!  The men were so upset that they made every contestant wear these skimpy outfits that totally exposed the front side.  So no woman has ever replica watches entered it since.
