I promise this is true. Will answer what I can without giving away too many clues about the athlete.

Alas, no.
It was a sport that has been in the Olympics, and perhaps will one day return.
Like urban planning and competitive bong rips, it's one where you can gain weight while playing
Edit: Shit, what we played was only featured in a "demonstration programme" and didn't make the Games
Sumo? Was sumo at Tokyo? Wait was that Tokyo or Kyoto? Whatever...
Edit: it was Tokyo
Indeed
And I had, like, 5x the score they did. Would they have lapped me five times in their sport? Probably, but they might have won before that happened, in which case this is more impressive.
It's still hard to beat elite athletes at esports, someday it's going to be a part of GOAT debates like golf was for Biden and Trump.
