I know this sounds like something I made up, but nope, it’s a real story. The equestrians competing at the Olympics are complaining that a sumo wrestler statue by one of the jumps is startling the horses and have requested that it be removed from the course. Now, when I first looked at the photos in the article I read I thought the statue was photoshopped into the pictures. I will say that it is a creepy looking statue…
