FY2024 ニュースで学ぶ現代英語（５／２０）こどもの日恒例の“泣き相撲”
Babies take to Sumo ring on children's day.
May 5th is Children's Day in Japan, and a shrine in Hiroshima is celebrating with a special event, 'Baby Sumo'.
About 700 children, aged 6 to 18 months, took part in this year's crying contest.
The annual event at Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine is to pray for the health and well-being of children.
Two babies face each other in the ring and the winner is the first one to cry.
"I was worried my baby might not cry, but he did right away."
"I hope he grows up big and strong."
"My niece took part in this event last year and it was cute, so we came this time."
"My son didn't cry as much as we expected."
Some bouts ended in a draw because neither baby flinched.
