Sumo schoolgirl hopes for glory at world championships

Samantha-Jane Stacey, is Australia�s strongest medal hope at the world championships in Estonia next month.

She began Sumo training two years ago after previous experience of wrestling and will compete in the junior women�s heavyweight division.

A diet of Weetabix and lasagne is credited with helping her maintain the sturdy frame required for the sport.

However she dismissed suggestions that Sumo is all about bulk.
