"In Japan," says Cawas Billimoria, "anyone with even a slightly fat kid dreams of making him a sumo wrestler."In India, most folks would say, "Sumo? What about it?" But guess what, not only do we have a national team, they've made it to the world championships every year since 1992. Take a look. This wholesome foursome - Anant Chaudhary, Amber Joshi, Vinayak Palande and Billimoria - were at the sixth world championships in Tokyo last month.They're not too bad, you know. Billimoria struck silver at the Asian championships in 1997 and 1996; India were among the top 16 at the world championships in 1996 and 1995; the team came third in Asia in 1996; when the seedings are announced for the Asian championships this year, Billimoria is likely to be No. 2 in his category; and, declares Daga, "This year, we plan to get coaches from Japan." Sizeable promise, don't you think?.preferred-source-banner{ margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom:10px;}Published By: AtMigration Published On: Jan 12, 1998--- ENDS ---
