Cruellest Competition In The World? Wrestlers Make Babies Cry To See Who Is The Healthiest

Is this the cruellest competition in the world? Sumo wrestlers tried to make babies cry at a 400-year-old Japanese festival, with the terrified winner crowned the healthiest.  More than 100 babies squared off in a ring on April 30 in an annual competition where hulking sumo wrestlers hold them and try to make them cry.

The 400-year-old Japanese tradition at the Nakizumo festival is believed to bring good health to the infants, and the one who bawls first is the winner.
