a 1500 year old marshall arch it is steeped emission to religion. traditionally, sumo is exclusively practiced by men in grand sumo women are not even allowed to stuck inside the dodo for holy ring. and yet, here they are the pacific. i'm also going to become a real champion, has been my dream for ever and i will give everything to make a country look up to come on the it's important to differentiate between grand sumo, those famous big guys in japan. and the international sumo federation, or i assess 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 a leads and practices. sumo intel to which you probably wouldn't guess by looking at her or would you think this young woman is a sumo wrestler? we'll has face to finish sheriff doubters, not as ago. you can't be too serious about it or women a week as a sports, not at a pro level. i've 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 this the soul. meanwhile,

the guys up to see much that recognize my efforts and offer me all their support. so i can run a couple of more sooner. see, i'm particularly thankful for that because it is something that i would never have to 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 doesn't last a few, male or female or what a to anyone can compete. of course you need to have technique, 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. still so that the success of the rest of that is defined by many things that add up to the unique style on the side of the courtyard. and that'd be

fine. of course, it's nice to have a proper stage like we see here. sorry, i could not get that in. there is none. simply mock one with your feet in the sand and go for it. as much of these, you have seen that you can build up. everything from scratch on your very own either particular from 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 this co. i'm not to touch the ground, the sound except with the soul. so you'll see how much the 3rd law, but they all prohibited techniques. and i'm a to assume that, for example,

aiming at the face or attacking the neck, could be, or from a concert for 2 months. does a lot of professional grants, you know, it's a little bit different. so there are of you attributed techniques then, and i'm a terrorist thing, but the good, good and not good at the call, the grabbing the harris and no got it. what's going on? so besides the fact that there are few of for been moose in grants, you know, you're watching the basic technical rules that i assume i will remain the same for the community to ensure getting into proper sue. my shape means lots of repetitive muscle works, especially on the legs. since most of the single athlete power is based in their lower body. we always simply suffered a foot injury, which is why she's trying to work around to add today's training sessions. she doesn't mind overseeing her colleagues matches instead, the

other sports an encounter doesn't last 90 minutes too. and there is no competition of if the 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, decided on, i get it can be incredibly suspenseful. i find that amazing right now, so the real sacrifice is a lot for her dream of being a world star and women sumo. she commutes the 40 kilometers between the dodo 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 i'm extra to eat as much propane as necessary. kind of kind of more log into the phone competitions. i sometimes have to balance my weight to talk to or to look up some of the plan. i have to put a lot more fluids into categories. for instance, the wolf is just doing the the real lives a normal college students life when she has 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 amateur assumed, well, what are the most, do you typically when a certificate or maybe sometimes a middle or even at the world championships to them

for so. so the societal recognition for young women that carried themselves with confidence for chief things out of the ordinary can still be rare in japan. but rio isn't bothered in this respect, i think it's great that japanese idols as pop, culture styles on known, stopped smooth and modestly. and don't get down about things or they couldn't call you coming across as cute is secondary when you with this how much the person develops and they've really cost they spend on, you know, not the, the grand see most down on women in the ring goes so far back, so you know, medics where once asked to leave the ring by announcer's dislike, trying to help a medical emergency during the opening of

a competition in kyoto. women please leave low ring the bends origin lines and the claim that women are impure due to that period. the scenes and killed her through international attention, sparking discussions in japanese media. and while the japan sumo association eventually apologize, women still aren't allowed to take part in grant's email data, thoughts id mess it's matched. a sumo world championships are held annually in different cities around the world. today, 150 wrestlers from 28 countries will do you get out in tokyo, emits this lively chaos really prepares for opening fights and the individual women's middle weight category. that's under 73 kilograms per 1st opponent is monica scape about $25.00 from poland. of course you can't forget to about to your

opponents, the focus and go the wheels 1st bout is impressive. coming to a close just as quickly as it started time for a 2nd bell when leading the ring and rio couldn't have hoped for a better start. i got to demonstrate what i've been training so hard for over the last month. that was 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 it's fairly straightforward. the constant cry of the quote in the quota from

the ref means remaining and much the defender. no, they're still in the ring. minor injuries and split lips are fairly common. we just find something. meanwhile, it's time for refills, next fight. her next step to the final gather yourself again. of the opponents, ukraine's carmina cole, masnik puts an abrupt into rio stream even if the disappointment is momentarily overwhelming, real still has a shot at the 3rd place in the world rankings. and

looking at the bigger picture, there's plenty to be happy about. unlike in grand sing both and the church, the mode destined to have a problem. recruiting young wrestlers based on the increasing number of competitions women sumo in japan, has had particularly high growth and popularity over the last decade. but you can't get excited about to grow into something that you don't even know about when you call them up for that should i like to that. so i don't want that many people don't know, not assume that a slit in there. and the fact that women sing that exist associates not the one idea and it, i really hope this change and, and i can help inspire people to give it a try, what they don't. i don't want to say how soon up on and that's a long day of competing real needs hung gary and roxanna ball here in the ring. the

secures the bronze and real will keep on fighting, not just for herself, but for what really counts the disability of women in the sports. she lost the . 7 daniels and you belong to the $77.00 priest to be comfortable. i don't good, i'm 65. follow us last your stop 5 and years. 31115. we are here to help you make up your mind. we are here on please find your mind. so all of the topics, i'm much it to you from couple top fixed, a new culture and then 15 minutes. let's talk about community life on the service. the research is now

on the nice code b, c at the end. how's it going to be difficult to access an expedition ventures on to places that no one has the why is the ice melt? the design of the research in the ice teams march on the

most people spend their final days here in a hospital. although most of us would.
