Why is it that sumo wrestlers in the late XIXth century are slim athletes and today are blubby tubs of lard?

Professional athletes tend to look more unusual than amateurs.
This is weird, I don't get it.
Its just a flickering image yet somehow looks to have depth...

Thats it I guess.
Compare regular athletes of that time (runners and the ilk) to modern ones too- they looked like regular guys.

They come in all forms and sizes - both then and today.
Thanks, Mal. I enoyed that far more than I do the usual "Languish link."

Great photos!

That was as big as they got in those days, rare fattish one then. That's something that's evolved over the last century.

Yep, and I think that change is mainly due to how lucrative pro sports became. People now have to spend more time molding their body into one that can compete at their sport.
Cool.
Then they went evil. What a waste.
