A: Hey there! Did you catch the news yesterday?
   B: No, what's up?

A: Check this out! Kids in Aomori had a unique sumo event!
   B: Sumo? Really? That's cool!

A: Yep, they fought on their knees during a summer festival at a shrine in Hirosaki City.
   B: Wow, that sounds different from the regular sumo matches!

A: You're right! Kneeling sumo was actually practiced in the Tsugaru region as winter training for samurais in the Edo era.
   B: So it's got a long history!

A: Exactly! They had tournaments based on school grades, and then an open class competition took place.
   B: I bet they gave it their all! Did you hear about any emotional moments?

A: Oh yes, one kid even shed tears after losing a match. But don't worry, another sixth grader won and said he was happy to have done his best. It seems like they really enjoyed the competition!
