WorldThe head of Japan's sumo association has apologised after women attempting to perform CPR during a medical emergency Wednesday were repeatedly asked to leave a sumo ring. At least two women rushed into the ring in Maizuru, northwest of Kyoto, after a local mayor collapsed while giving a speech. The rings where sumo is practised, known as sumo dohyo, are seen as sacred places in the native Shinto faith. The sumo association should go under. Another user, @miroku203, wrote: "If tradition is more cherished than a person on the verge of death who is in front of you, the sumo association should collapse."
