Olympic judo gold medalist Hitoshi Saito dies of cancer

[FEDORER]

I have some sad news to announce. Hitoshi Saito has died of cancer :icon_cry2
He was one of the greatest heavyweights to have walked on a tatami.
His rivalry with Yamashita was legendary and one for the ages.

Sad news. Truly an epic rivalry, and led to the end of the scissor takedown, correct?

I believe that was from Sumio Endo.

Damn. Sad to here. That documentary about his rivalry with Yamashita was badass. What an epic career.

Respect.
