2015 US SUMO OPEN OVERVIEW
Nearly 4,000 fans watched history being made, as Byamba’s 8-year streak of gold medals was ended at last by Egypt’s Ramy Elgazar and Roy Sims (USA). In fact, Roy Sims became the first American EVER to win a US Sumo Open gold medal in either men’s heavyweight or openweight!
Until the final match of the day, all 29 previous heavyweight and openweight gold medalists (for 15 years) had been foreigners, but with a victory in the openweight finals, Roy Sims entered the history books when he won the openweight gold medal…
With the newly-installed jumbo-tron, the largest big screen among all universities nationwide, the Walter Pyramid allowed fans to watch instant replays after the best matches! More
