 Kan-Demir Kuular, famous Tuvan wrestler and Russian sumo champion in 2006 (under 85 kg), has come third in the European Sumo Championship, which has just finished in Riesa, Germany. Another Tuvan, Adar Kuular, was a championship referee.
In the present championship, already Riesa’s 4th European Sumo-Wrestling Championship, a total of 110 athletes from 15 European nations have taken part, 69 men and 41 women. The dominating wrestlers were, as usual, from the Russian Federation, whose athletes, especially their women, have garnered most of the medals.
