in error where the carnival dancers have again taken to the streets and attribute to blackwood winters of this year's competition. so they wanted to highlight results, historical connections to africa. the questions got any issues or thoughts say who the my name is the calls back said loud. thank you so much for

joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. that's what it being nosy bay, like good. everyone to king. you're healthy award winning called called the called back. the one of japan's most famous sports sumo is much more than just a competition. a 1500 year old marshall 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,

the most, it guides you to become a real champion, has been my dream for ever. and i will give everything to make a country look up the 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 in tokyo, which you probably wouldn't 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 can't be too serious about it or women all week as a sports, not at a pro level. i've heard 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 up assume x up recognize my efforts and off in the 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 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 age you want. anyone can compete. of course you need to have techniques 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. 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 refund. 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 . 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 this co, not to touch the ground, the sound except with the soul. so you'll see how much the 3rd of, uh, 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 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 know got you. it's gonna the science, the fact that there are few of for been moose in 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

works, 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 to add today's training sessions. she doesn't mind overseeing her colleagues matches instead the other sports and then counter doesn't last 90 minutes to 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 seconds until the mattress decided on. i get it can be incredibly suspenseful. i find that amazing or an update on 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 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 protein as necessary. kind of kind of more log into the phone competitions. i sometimes have to balance money. wait to talk to you or to look up some of the plan. i have to put a lot more fluids into categories. for instance, the well is just doing the,

the real lives a normal college students life when she comes to her focus solely on her support. she one 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 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 mind at all. in this respect, i think it's great that japanese idols as pop, culture style, so known, started 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 youth, it may not or not the the grand see most down on women in the ring goes 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 lorraine the bends origin lines and the claim that women are impure due to their periods. the scenes and killed her through international attention, sparking discussions in japanese media. and while the japan symbol association, eventually apologize, women still aren't allowed to take part in grant's email data,

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 and 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 but her opponents, ukraine's carmina cole, masnik puts an abrupt in to 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 entrancing both amateur simo doesn't 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 the golf lot floor. that should i might have thought so i don't want it. many people don't
