Sumo schoolgirl hopes for glory at world championships

Samantha-Jane Stacey, is Australia’s strongest medal hope at the world championships in Estonia next month.

She began Sumo training two years ago after previous experience of wrestling and will compete in the junior women’s heavyweight division.

A diet of Weetabix and lasagne is credited with helping her maintain the sturdy frame required for the sport.

However she dismissed suggestions that Sumo is all about bulk.
