Hey, this is the second and the last part of my two part series; and as promised before this is about a sumo wrestler called Ama (aka Harumafuji Kōhei ), the 'lean Sumo wrestler' from Mongolia.
For starters, he weighs 126 kg (280 lb) which makes him 'not so lean'. But hey, that still quite low by sumo standards. Most guys weigh 150+ and look much much bulkier than Ama.
But here's the part I like about him - While quite a few sumo wrestlers use their brutal body weight to push the opponent out of the ring, he almost never does this. He's got two really quick feet and really rapid moves and great technique which he uses to throw bulkier sumo wrestlers out of the ring.
(As seen here throwing out the Russian Wakanoho after being completely cornered and in the brink of defeat.)
He has been promoted to the second highest rank in sumo (Ozeki, immediately below Yokozuna). Wishing him a quick promotion and greater success in sumo.
Sumo fans will till you that sumo is much more than 'fat guys in diapers' and guys like Ama contribute much to the grandeur of sumo.
