Hiroaki Tanaka of Japan, right, battles Russia's Alan Karaev during the final of the men's heavyweight sumo wrestling competition at the Combat Games in Beijing on Sunday. Karaev won the gold medal, with Tanaka taking the silver. The Combat Games are being held through Sept 4, with about 1,600 athletes from 60 countries competing in 13 sports.

Unfortunately the photograph was cropped on the left side where the dialogue bubble was cut off. It was for the referee, who is exclaiming, "Oh, man. I just noticed you are so very fat!"

And Tanaka looks like he could use a little waxing in his "special area."

New sumo tactic - tickle him out of the ring.

Sumo is the lamest sport in the world. Massively boring, with long drawn out ceremony and nothing in the way of substance, much like everything else 'Japanese'.

The women get to see men in T-backs! How come JT doesn't have women in T-backs?

In this photo it doesn't look like Karaev was going to get the gold medal.

some of the female posters complain about not seeing any cute men posted on JT, I guess now you can stop complaining!

Never did understand these Sumo events. How would these guys do against real Rikishi...and vice versa.

Which one did you bet on? Which one is on drugs? Which one laid down a beating at the izakaya last night?

The ref looks like he's enjoying this the most out of anyone.
