Description : |
there were a lot of mongolian competitiors and a reasonable number of russians in the match i went to. this russian had a rather unusual mawashi - the stars on it were actually illuminated and he must have had a battery inside somewhere. an interesting mix of the old and new. |

this guy, who had probably been drinking, stood up near the end and starts whipping the surrounding spectators up, encouraging them all to clap. he started dancing about like a conductor, and later threw confetti and oranges about. the white gloves and the confetti make it look like he pre-planned it. |
