A Herculean task
A FORMER US sumo wrestling champion and judo competitor is trying to lose 90kg in an effort to improve his health. Sitting in his doctor's office, Emanuel (Tiny) Yarbrough said he knows that the odds are stacked against him competing again, but he wants to give it a try. "I feel that at least I have a fighting chance," he said.
Under a doctor's supervision, he's trying to lose weight, hoping to take part next year in US Olympic judo qualifying as well as the Sumo World Championships. "I was sick and tired of being sick and tired," the 42-year-old said. "I want to just get back to my life." Yarbrough said he didn't intentionally gain the weight for sumo. He put on the pounds the same way most people do: not enough exercise and too much eating.
