"Rakvere is getting ready for sumo world championships"

On Saturday the best junior sumo wrestlers will be determined in Rakvere. First time organisers have done a good job though there were some minor problems. Builders and administration were shocked when sumo specialists from Japan announced that dohyo is not good enough and that a new one is needed.

It was difficult to make it clear to the guests that the dohyo was not ready yet. By Tuesday morning when builders have been busy thoughout the night the result was shown and the japanese were were satisfied.

Bart says that the championships normally take place in Japan, and holding them here is a big deal, and will likely help promote Estonia.

They named a training hall there, where he started his sumo career, after him

- "Foreigners won't usually last long in professional sumo, how have you preservered?"

- "I don't know how much longer I can take it, either" B-) "It's life as usual"

About the future: "Upwards. There's still room for improvement"

- "Is it true that some people in Japan consider rikishi as sex symbols?"

- ".... Well there's some truth in it, too" (Punk rocker...)

Great championnship. But the Japan ruled the sport as they should be (Punk rocker...) Liked it, even if I'm an Estonian. I have to say, that Japanese technique was unbeaten, especially, when 114 kg man was against an 160 kg Russian guy and guess what... He (japanese) won. Great tournament, by deepest bow to You Japanese Sumotori (Sign of approval)

A short translation/summary follows:

Japanese journalists hunt for Baruto even in Estonia

Three japanese journalists are looking for Baruto's background information. Any information is about him is considered to worth of gold.

Farther of sumo in Estonia - Riho Rannikmaa has invited Baruto to participate in opening of his memorial sign at Vinni sports centre.

The sign says "Baruto's dojo and wrestling hall". It means that construction work will start soon. As a result the first full size sumo hall will be built in Baltic states.

...

Praise from the president

...

Baruto answered to many questions during 20 minute interview. Is he happy being so far away from his fartherland, does he still enjoy sumo?

"One must love sumo in order to do it properly" - smiles the strongman. ...

Baruto is truly grateful to the president of International Sumo Association Mr. Hidetoshi Tanaka . "Thanks to him I went to Japan. Mrs. Tanaka was like a mother to me until I became professional".

"Baruto is very popular among japanese" praises the president - " He is an outstanding athlete and he will reach the absolute top. Everybody in Japan in expecting that".

Baruto's mother Mrs. Tiina Pudel tells to the newspaper "It is not easy in a foreing country. Sometimes Kaido calls me many times a day just to talk to somebody".

According to mother's words son is not regretting the chosen path and wants to see how far he can advance. "Kaid has almost no private life, all hours of his days are planned in advance".

To young for girls

According to rules 21 year old should not have a girlfriend - he is considered to young! "One can find a girlfriend after coach has agreed to it" enlightens Baruto.

He has been allowed to come to home for three days with the help from Mr. Tanaka. "According to the rules I first have to ask permission from coach and then from the sumo federation" explains Kaido " but usually my request does not go beyond my mentor".

Rise on the sumo hierachy has not made Kaido's life easier. "There is less and less free time, media is surrounding me"- he sighed. "I am tired of attention and I am not giving my signature any more to anybody who asks".

That was a pretty awesome push there at the end. Not even sure what kind of kimarite would that be. Sights like that aren't happening very often with 150+ kilo behemoths in ozumo, so I guess amateur sumo can be cool in its own way. :)

yes,that wiry fellow may well be the next European version of Ama, or if you caught his movement in the last moment of the video, maybe the next Euro-Robo!

(In a state of confusion...) This is awesome news about the results of the New Zealanders!! ;-)

We at Sumo NZ were quietly confident about the ability or our boys but it is difficult to know how good the rest of the world are. both boys only took up sumo earlier this year. Mark in the open-weight is only 16 years old and weighs 190kg. Even at that size, though, he is really quick. Sio (heavyweight) is really strong and powerful and weighs just about 100kg. He is really athletic. I'm just so happy at how well they have done!!

Does anyone have any video footage that they could provide a link to??
