The official ranking list of Sumo

This is the official ranking list of Sumo, called "Banduke-hyou" in Japanese.
It is announced before every tournaments.

You can see the letters are getting small and of course,
the biggest wrestler is the grand champion.

Of the top 5 wrestlers, 3 are from Mongolia including the grand champion.
So international!

Can you read their names, too?

We need a loupe to find lower-level wrestlers...
I'm always wonderig how they write these thin characters.
