SUMO in the world
[Focus]
1. Sumo Spreads Abroad - Europe's Sumo Boom
There are now 43 wrestlers from 11 foreign countries in Japanese professional sumo and most of those countries - 6 - are in Europe. We report from the European championships in Ukraine on the theme of the increasing numbers of young people around the world who are now placing their dreams in sumo.

*The European sumo championships were contested in June this year by nearly 100 wrestlers in each of 6 age categories from the U-12's to adults - making nearly 600 in all! The knock-out tournament format and 7 weight categories also made it quite different from sumo in Japan.
2. The First Egyptian Sumo Wrestler to Battle in Japan
Egyptian sumo wrestler Osunaarashi is also the first African to enter the world of Japanese sumo. He advanced to the Sandanme rank in the September tournament, where he suffered his first defeat. We focus on the trials and tribulations he now faces in Japan as his stable master teaches him not only the wrestling skills but also the mental strength and etiquette expected of a sumo wrestler.
