Sumo Wrestlers Save Woman From Drowning





Sakaigawa Stable, Tokyo


Wednesday morning about 5 am, a woman in her 30's fell from a bridge over the Kenaga River in Tokyo.  A man nearby heard the woman scream and called police.  Before the police arrived, the stable master of the Sakaigawa stable next to the river, who also heard her scream, ran out with 20 sumo wrestlers to save her. The wrestlers were able to pull her up over the river wall and carry her to the ambulance.  She was taken to the hospital with no serious injuries. How amazing is that?  If you are going to fall in the river, it's good to do it near a sumo stable where giant men can pull you out.
