Another guest speaker was Svetoslav Binev, two-time amateur World Sumo Champion. Originally from Bulgaria, Binev had won almost 100 consecutive sumo matches in international competition, taking two world titles in the process. He also coached the Bulgarian team, which, in one year, came from nowhere to become #2 in the world, after Japan. Binev displayed some acrobatic moves and also spoke about the competition.

Among the international competitors were three of Japan's top university sumo wrestlers, and their coach, a retired professional, "Dewataira". The Japanese team demonstrated traditional sumo rituals, rules, and techniques. Although many other international competitors did very well, and some even defeated the Japanese athletes, the Japanese university champions ended up with gold medals in the men's middleweight, heavyweight, and openweight competitions.
