Tokyo: It took just a few seconds of breathless grappling and an almighty final heave. But once that was done, Japan had a new sumo champion. And for the first time, he was European. On Saturday, Kotooshu (25), a Bulgarian wrestler, had won the Emperor’s Cup, the most-coveted prize in the 2,000-year-old sport. As fans celebrated, sumo traditionalists were left to rue another tournament in which Japanese wrestlers failed to make an impact. While the purists wince, Kotooshu is a popular figure, whose success may give the ancient sport the boost it needs. — © Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2008
