the, the people and trucks injured was trying to feed the city center. and the straight pieces explain the around the world more than 150000000 people us we ask mine because no one should have to

make up your own mind. dw may 4 mines. the one of japan's most famous sports sumo is much more than just a competition. a 1500 year old marshal large, 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. i'm also going to become a world 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 fleets from 87 countries, both institutions oversee competitive sumo wrestling. the i assessed 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 we'll have to go with leads and practices. sumo intel to which you probably wouldn't guess by looking at her or what do you think this young woman is

a sumo wrestler real has faced her finish sheriff doubters. not as ago. you can't be too serious about it. or women a week has suppose not at approach level. i've had many more critiques then, but since i have started going to university, i have goals and do everything to achieve that are going to call the phone. meanwhile, the guys up assume x up recognize my efforts and all for me, all the 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 thought possible in the past. i mean, besides studying it tokyo's k o university real hopes to compete at the upcoming sigma world championships for the 1st time. rio is actually the 1st female wrestler to be allowed to join the club. a small revolution.

it doesn't matter if you male or female or what age you want. anyone can compete. of course you need to have technique or 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 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 problem. 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 know 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 going to assume that, for example, aiming at the face or attacking the neck, could be well from a concert for 2 months. does a lot of professional grants, you know, it's a little bit different, so they're out 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 know got it what's going on. so besides the fact that there are few of for been moves and grants, you know, you're watching the basic technical rules that assume i will remain the same. no political issue getting into proper sumo shape means lots of repetitive muscle work, especially on the legs. since most of

a single athlete power is based in their lower body, we always simply separate a foot injury, which is why she's trying to work around did as today's training session. she doesn't mind overseeing her colleagues matches instead the other sports and then counter doesn't last 90 minutes too. and there is no competition of it 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 mattress, decided on i get it can be incredibly suspenseful. i find that amazing are in updates, so the real sacrifice is a lot for her dream of being

a world star and women sumo. she can meet 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 i'm extra to eat as much propane as necessary. i kind of more log into the phone competitions. i sometimes have to balance some of the weight to talk you already to look up some of the plan. i have to put a lot more fluids 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 athlete spun themselves and amateur assumed. well, what are the most, do you typically when a certificate or maybe sometimes a middle a purchase, right? even at the world championships to them for me 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 mind at all. in this respect, i think it's great that japanese idols as pop culture stalls, i'm known, stopped smooth as modestly. don't get down about things. what they couldn't

call you coming across as cute is secondary when you with this how much the person develops and they really cost they spend on, you know, not the the grand see most down on women in the ring. go so far back. female medic swear 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 bens 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 its match space. the sumo world championships

are held annually in different cities around the world. today, 150 wrestlers from 28 countries will do. you could out in tokyo, admits this lively chaos really prepares for opening site to the individual women's middle weight category. that's under 73 kilograms per 1st opponent is monica sky, but $25.00 from poland. of course you can't forget to about to your opponents, the focus and go the wheels 1st. boat 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 went 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 quote 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 cutting their equipment, sneak, puts an abrupt end to real 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 entrancing, both amateur simo dustin 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. you can't get excited about to grow into something that you don't even know about where to go. my lot for that should i like to tell you that many people don't know not sooner. well slit in there. and the fact that women seemed that exist associate,

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 like, don't want to say how say not 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 logs onto the polls. it's election yet in the south africa. as i would say, the young sizes of the key to exchange

on this mess together. let's come together. let's do it together. while it's going to be here, when we change things around this 77, meg on dw, the, he can do anything from action, full size, direction, and reduce the release way. does he get his inspiration? how does he work? on the manner in 60 minutes on d w. these places in europe smashing the rank one step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin club to
