Sumo Spirit: A Storm from Egypt

A young wrestler from Egypt has taken the world of sumo by storm under the apt name of Osunaarashi - or "Great Sandstorm" in Japanese. It took him only 18 months to reach the top makunouchi division, where only 42 of all 600 wrestlers are admitted. That's the fastest rise ever among foreign-born wrestlers. But fighting his way up through the ranks was no easy task.
