Make up your own mind. Dw may 4 mines. The one of depends. Most famous sports sumo is much more than just a competition, a 1500 year old marshall arch. It is steep emission to religion. Traditionally, sumo is exclusively practiced by men in grand sumo women are not even allowed to step inside the dodo for holy ring. And yet here they are the pacific. Im also going to become a world champion, has been my dream for ever, and i will give everything to make it country look up to come on. Its important to differentiate between grand sumo, those famous big guys in japan. And the international sumo federation, or i ss which features athletes from 87 countries, both institutions oversee competitive sumo wrestling. The i ss, participates in the world gains and has included women wrestlers for over 20 years. Of course, there are plenty of japanese participants in the i ss as well. The 20 year old real has to go with leads and practices. Sumo intel to which you probably wouldnt guess by looking at her or would you think this young woman is a sumo wrestler . Real has faced her fair share of doubters, not as ago. You cant be too serious about it. Or women a week has suppose not at a pro level. And ive had many more critiques. But since i have started going to university and i have goals and do everything to achieve that are going to call the phone. Meanwhile, the guys that the c max up recognize my efforts end up in the all their support. So i can run a couple of doors together. See, im particularly thankful for that because it is something that i would never have thought possible in the past. I mean, besides studying at tokyo scale, university real hopes to compete at the upcoming single World Championships for the 1st time. Rio is actually the 1st female wrestler to be allowed to join the club. A small revolution. It doesnt matter if you male or female or what age you want. Anyone can compete. Of course you need to have techniques. Scott, if you get Strong Enough and if you make good use of your racing skills, a smaller person can actually defeat a bigger one. So so that the success of the rest of it is defined by many things that add up to the unique style on the side of the coil. And not the point, of course, its nice to have a proper stage like we see here how you all could knock at that if there is none, simply mock one with your feet in the sand and go for it as much of these you have similar that you can build up everything from scratch on your very own either can pick it up on the arena is called a dojo and features traditional elements like a spot for the god of martial arts. The salt which is used to purify the wrestling circle and in some cases like here no air conditioning, even in the hot summer months. The fighting ring itself has 4 entrances, named after the cardinal directions. The 2 opponents, designated east and west try to make the best possible use of the 4. 55 meter diameter ring to the basic role is to never step out of the circle. Know to touch the ground, the sound except with the soul. So youll see how much the 3rd of, uh, but they all prohibited techniques. And im a to assume that for example, aiming of the face or talking the neck could be well from a concert, the professional brand. So, you know, its a little bit different. So theyre all of you attributed techniques, then, and amateurish things with the good, good and not good at the call, the grabbing the harris and know got you whats going on. So besides the fact that there are few of forbidden moves and grants, you know, youre watching the basic Technical Rules that assume i will remain the same for the community to issue. Getting into proper sumo shape means lots of repetitive muscle works, especially on the legs. Since most of a single athlete power is based in their lower body we, we simply suffered a foot injury, which is why shes trying to work around did as todays training session. She doesnt mind overseeing her colleagues matches instead the other sports and then counter doesnt last 90 minutes too. And there is no competition at the who school is more point. So i assume it is probably the only school that only needs a body and the will to be the stronger one on that. And from there it is usually more or less 2nd. So to the matches, decide its on. I get it can be incredibly suspenseful. I find that amazing right, not that. So the real sacrifice is a lot for her dream of being a world star and women sumo. She can move the 40 kilometers between the dojo and her Student Department and the outskirts of the oklahoma 4 times a week. The plus, she spends plenty of time preparing meals, so this way im extra to eat as much propane as necessary. Kind of kind of more log in to on the phone competitions. I sometimes have to balance somebody wait to talk to or to hook up some with the plan. I have to put a lot more food into categories. For instance, the well, the, the real lives a normal College Students life when she comes to her focus solely on her support. She won every under 18 title in japan before becoming world youth champion in 2019, not easy as Athletes Fund themselves and mature symbol. Oh, what are the most you typically when a certificate or maybe sometimes a middle or or even at the World Championships to them for so. So the societal recognition for young women that carried themselves with confidence or chief things out of the ordinary can still be rare. In japan, but rio isnt bothered mind at all. In this respect, i think its great that japanese idols as pop, culture styles are known, stopped smooth as modestly. And dont get down about things. What they couldnt call you coming across as cute is secondary when you with this how much the person develops and they really cost they spend on use. Its not enough to hold the grand see most down on women in the ring goes so far back.

Coming to a close, just as quickly as it started time for a 2nd bell when leading the ring and rio couldnt have hoped for a better start. I got to demonstrate what ive been training so hard for over the last month. That ones well for me, wrestlers of both genders, each compete in 5 different ways. Classes. There are also team competitions. So you can only win metals for individual achievements. Sumo consists of a pre defined amount of throwing and pushing techniques. And its fairly straightforward. The constant cry of the quotes in the quota from the ref means remaining and much the defender. No, theyre still in the ring. Minor injuries and split lips are fairly common. We just find something. Meanwhile, its time for refills. Next fight. Her next step to the final gather yourself again of the but her opponents, ukraines cubby. Nicole masnik puts an abrupt end to rio street.
