This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 45%. (I'm a bot)


> The Japan Sumo Association held an extraordinary meeting of its board of directors Saturday to address its heavily criticized policy of banning women from setting foot in the ring.

> The board did not reach a resolution in the hour-long meeting, according to participants.

> The raised sumo ring is regarded as sacred in the male-only sport.

> The meeting was scheduled following an incident earlier this month in which a referee demanded female medics leave the ring at a sumo venue while they were providing emergency treatment to a mayor who had collapsed from a stroke.

> During a separate event this month, Tomoko Nakagawa, the mayor of Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, wasn't permitted to enter the ring to give a speech during a sumo exhibition.

> JSA Director Toshio Takano also said he believes more talks are needed following Saturday's meeting.
