Sumo's summer tour begins

TOMIOKA, Japan - Local people watch sumo wrestlers practicing during their summer regional tour of the nation in Tomioka, Gunma Prefecture, on Aug. 3. Mongolian-born grand champion Asashoryu is not taking part in the tour after he was suspended from the next two grand sumo tournaments because he played in a charity soccer event in his home country, despite citing injuries that allowed him to sit out of the summer tour.
