SECRETARY BY DAY, SUMO WRESTLER BY NIGHT

SECRETARY BY DAY, SUMO WRESTLER BY NIGHT

OSAKA, Japan (Wireless Flash) – A 23-year-old secretary from Japan knows how hard it is wrestling with two jobs – that’s because she’s also a sumo wrestler. By day, Rie Tsuihiji takes dictation and answers phones for an Osaka firm. But after 5 p.m. the 330-pound beauty trains to tackle and shove her equally lardy female competitors out of the ring. Roly-poly Rie has won six crowns in women’s sumo wrestling and, according to the Mainichi Daily News, she’s also loved by her co- workers in the secretarial pool for not weighing them down with extra work.
