However, although the large and game American squad gave it their all, the out- come was little changed as they were knocked around by the visiting European I teams this time! There were several upsets in the competition, but the most astounding was the dominance of Estonian middleweight Aap Uspenski, who won both the Middleweight and Openweight competitions, defeating opponents twice his weight in the process. American men did very well in the Lightweight class, but failed to even medal in the Middleweight or Heavyweight, although middleweight Troy Collins did grab the Openweight bronze medal. While most Americans are familiar with Japanese professional sumo, where there are no weight classes, international amateur sumo has changed the face (and body) of the sport. With three weight classes for men and three for women, we can watch ath- letes of all sizes and genders compete. Nevertheless, the Openweight class, where all sizes compete together, proved the most entertaining.
