SUMO IN TOKYO 2013 / 2014
No offence question, but are you more than 100kg? September 2011, very 1st-European-less-than-100kg Sumo Wrestler was ranked in top devision, Maku-Uchi. He officially has "only" 95kg, but very good shape with whole muscle no fat. And he is the only wrestler from Czech. It is clear that big is not the best, Takanoyama is proving by his own spirit of Praha. It will be more than Sumo when he fights against Koto-Oshu (Bulgaria) or Aoiyama (Bulgaria) or Baruto (Estonia) or Aran (Russia) or Tochinoshin (Georgia) or Gagamaru (Georgia) or Kaisei (Brazil) or Masunoyama (Philippine) and more. Soon, OoSunaArashi (BigSanderStorm) from Egypt will be promoted into premier league! If you were in Tokyo area during Tokyo Tounament, please have this chance to vist Ryogoku near Asakusa. Live Camera Tournament here (morning until 18:00 Japan Local Time when tournament is held, later the bigger and the stronger, best match from 17:00 - 18:00, Japan Standard Time).
