Muslim Sumo Wrestler Osunaarashi Struggles With Ramadan

NAGOYA, JAPAN - JULY 22: Egyptian sumo wrestler Osunaarashi arrives at the Aichi Prefecture Gymnasium, where the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament is being held on July 22, 2014 in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan. As the first African and Muslim sumo wrestler in Japan, Osunaarashi must grapple daily with the fact he cannot eat or drink during daylight hours because of Ramadan. There were no words of joy over winning a 'kinboshi,' or golden victory, the term for when a maegashira wrestler upsets a yokozuna after his victory over yokozuna Kakuryu on July 17, the fifth day of the tournament. Because he lost 7 kilograms during last year's Ramadan, Osunaarashi is trying to maintain his daily calory intake by mixing butter into his rice. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
