WRESTLING - Hawaii-born Japanese-Samoan sumo wrestler Konishiki
Yasokichi, weighing 550 pounds, competes against a small child in a
mock competition during opening ceremonies for the Sumo Basho
exhibition in San Jose. Nicknamed 'Meat Bomb', Konishiki was the
first wrestler born outside Japan to reach sumo's second highest
rank, ozeki. Weighing 628 pounds in 1996, Konishiki was the heaviest
ever sumo wrestler before being surpassed by Orora in 2017. He
retired in 1997 after battling chronic knee problems and gout.
