Once again, the two Japanese, among others, made the fans rejoice, while another athlete from the home team performed the most special feat.
The line-up after the scales suggested, even predicted, Hösbach’s sure home win. Because in the five lower weight classes, the formations consistently promised one-sided duels in favor of the home team. The Mainz team, far from their best line-up, only managed three wrestling points in these limits and basically no athlete who embodies upscale first league standards. At best, ex-Hösbacher Ibrahim Guzan, who was already the Yemeni champion, can keep up in the Bundesliga. But not against the Japanese Olympic champion Kotaro Kiyooka, who outscored Guzan after four and a half minutes and a number of quick actions.
Kiyooka’s compatriot Ayata Suzuki, who had moved up two classes again, did it even faster, but didn’t even let the pitiful Mainz native Marlon Vinson dream of the break bell despite being significantly shorter. Nikolai Mohammadi also had no significant problems against the talented Timur Demir. Because Anton Vieweg (against former Hösbacher Ilja Klasner) and Robin Ferdinand (against Abdallh Karem, who is eleven kilos heavier) also won the close comparisons in the first round, the Lower Franconians went into the break with a 15-0 score.
In particular, the two Japanese guys beamed from ear to ear and fulfilled many a photo wish. Once again, those responsible in Hösbach had good reasons to praise these still inspiring attractions in the highest tones – also because of their behavior away from the Bundesliga stage.
KSC sports director Tobias Heil praised Kiyooka, Suzuki and the freestyle flyweight Kaisei Tanabe, who was used several times in the first half of the season, as “loyal and funny, you can laugh a lot with them!” Hösbach’s Greco coach Bengt Trageser called them “simply great guys! It’s also nice for a coach with them.” By which Trageser not only meant that “the coach is still a person of respect for the Japanese,” but also “because they are technically extremely broadly trained.”
After the crystal-clear first half, the second section also turned into a demonstration of power, apart from the points defeats by Hösbach’s two homegrown players, Johannes Deml and Tim Müller. Erik Löser shouldered his opponent, even though he is actually “only” a second-team wrestler for Rheinhessen. Niklas Dorn also celebrated an unchallenged points victory in the freestyle welterweight division before Gevorg Sahakyan showed something rare: against Adam Shtrom, he threw his opponent twice within one round with such a great amplitude that referee Maria Anselm gave the maximum score of five technical points.
The bottom line is that KSC Hösbach managed to get in the perfect mood for next Saturday, when they will fight for group victory against KSC Köllerbach, who are also still undefeated.
