The dark secrets of sumo wrestling | Unreported World
Unreported World is in Japan examining the darker side of Sumo wrestling, from health issues, to claims of bullying and concerns around head injuries.
Hoping to become a grand champion is 12-year-old Kyuta Kumugai, a rising star in the sport who trains six days a week. But Sahar Zand meets former wrestlers blowing the whistle on their experiences. Professional sumos eat, sleep and train seven days a week in training centres, called stables. We hear that life in a stable is one of servitude, where junior wrestlers are beaten for breaking the rules, and some are made to headbutt a wooden pole hundreds of times a day.
The harsh and brutal sport comes with no weight classes and being overweight carries real advantages, and extra risks. We learn that Sumo wrestlers die 15-20 years younger than the average Japanese male.
