However, Davydko about it doesn't long at all. Prior to show the Ukrainian weighed 184 kg (with a height of 184 cm). Now its civil weight — 99 kg. In eight and a half months Davydko grew thin for 86 kg!

And after that became pregnant and in October I gave birth to the son Alexander. Now Olga lives in the Crimea where we to her and phoned. We will remind that the Ukrainian won the lion's share of the awards as a part of the Dnepropetrovsk sports club "Dinamo-Sileyr".

To grow thin to give birth to the child

— Olga what was heavier — to win the World Cup in sumo or to give birth to the first-born?

— The birth of the son — is pleasure which can't be compared to anything. Sasha was born the athlete, weighing 4 kg. We with Alexey initially agreed that if there will be a boy, will call it in honor of the grandfather, the father of the husband. If the girl is born, we will call in honor of my mother — Zoya. We, by the way, practically to the last didn't know a sex of the child. Learned only on ultrasonography when I was eight months gone. While was in maternity hospital, Lesh bought a carriage, a bed and children's things. We will christen the son in Evpatoria, in the oldest church of the Crimea, after New Year's holidays.

— Now you won't return to big-time sports?

— Never speak never. But nevertheless in life there are also more important things, than sumo. I was going to marry long ago, we with Alexey several times postponed a wedding. And then decided. Reflected on children. It became clear further that my excess weight can become a hindrance for our future posterity. Therefore when saw reality show advertizing on STB, I decided to try.

— You were one of the largest girls in world sumo. Now, if you return on the dakhe, against the competitors you will look not makeweight. It doesn't confuse you?

— First, in sumo competitors who were much larger than me an example of three-year prescription sufficed. One black British weighed about 250 kilograms. So everything is relative. To sumo after all not always the outcome of wrestling is turned by physical force. Therefore even large guys weighing 180 — 200 kilograms at us very dexterous and flexible.

— And you to whom are obliged by the constitution?

— In my family almost all were athletes. The brother Ivan — under growth two meters, weighs 115 kilograms. And thus not the full — lean. I was engaged in the Thai boxing, I executed the standard of the master of sports, I won the championship of Ukraine, but then I married and I gave up sports. Parents at me too the strong. Perhaps, because they always had a lot of physical activity.

Frontal pushing out

— However, that you came to sumo incidentally?

— Yes, I didn't dream of victories on the dakhe 10 years ago. Simply I studied at the Kharkov road university and I thought to work in the specialty — the accountant. I passed examinations and I went with the friend to the railway station. I went to Simferopol. There the president of Federation of sumo of Ukraine Sergey Korobko also approached to me. I then, of course, didn't know who is he such. I was surprised when Sergey Viktorovich paid me a compliment. Say, you have absolutely tremendous build. He to me also suggested to be engaged in sumo.

— And you agreed at once?

— I decided to try. After three trainings I went on the championship of Ukraine. Also I celebrated a victory. It brought me. Passed one and a half more months, and I as a part of national team went on the European championship to the German Cope. I came back home with three medals — silver and two bronze. I won two awards in the heavy weight and absolute category, one more — in the team competitions "wall on a wall". Then understood that sumo for me — it seriously and for a long time.

— What at you was crown reception?

— In each type of single combats there are nuances. For example, I preferred to win sumo simply, without delicacy — frontal pushing out of competitors. Force God didn't offend me, dexterity too. With the considerable weight always without problems I could stretch out and show still a two-three enough difficult gymnastic exercises. I could outwit the competitor — to use her force against it.

Sumo market

— In professional Japanese league sumoist earn good money?

— Certainly. Champions there call yokodzen — this honorary title is appropriated to the strongest sumoist. And so, at yokodzeny only the suite makes 64 persons! Suite — it, so to speak, the service personnel. Yokodzuna even itself doesn't wash a foot — for him servants do. In Japan tournament of the highest rank — the Cup of the emperor. The prize fund of tournament makes 400 thousand dollars. Plus the winner still in addition receives generous gifts it sponsors. Tournament is held six times a year — each two months. Also the yokodzena needs the fixed salary — in my opinion, about 300 thousand dollars a month. Plus yokodzen in the Country of a rising sun has such popularity, as our brothers Klitschko. And it allows the champion of sumo to earn not bad on advertizing contracts.

— But after all not all become yokodzen. How many in Japan the ordinary professional sumoist earns?

— There four professional divisions. Perspective wrestlers, still plainly nothing achieved, receive about 10 thousand dollars a month. Agree, to the Ukrainian measures it is simply enormous money. Frankly speaking, I regret a little that in Japan there is no professional female sumo — only man's.

Manyunya

— Except sumo, you also won the wrestling World Cup on belts. What it for an exotic sport?

— This interesting single combat with simple rules. Two wrestlers become in a circle, wrestling, keeping each other for a belt God capture — as in Greco-Roman wrestling. Round a waist athletes tie round a belt which the belt is called. In fights all actions, capable to transfer the opponent from a standing position to a prone position are allowed. But there is one obligatory condition for all: wrestlers shouldn't release capture. The throw is more spectacularly made, the bigger quantity of points for it is charged.

— The wrestling World Cup on belts which you won, took place in the capital of ChE the city of Lome. Probably, exotic there sufficed?

— Yes. Locals ate with hands. And as the woman I there made tremendous success.. Therefore when I walked around the city, near me people crowds gathered. As a whole I about this country still had good impressions. After all not only I won here the World Cup, but also I swam in the ocean. And still very much it was pleasant that competitions took place at the central football stadium of the country. There was a lot of audience, and the opening ceremony surpassed all our expectations.

— However, that in the national team you called the Bead?

— Yes, and still Baby and Manyunya. Several years ago on collecting one of little girls somehow told me: "You directly as Bead". All laughed, and this nickname was assigned to me. It is pleasant to me. As, however, and Manyunya.

— You after all and before growing thin didn't hesitate of the extra kilos?

— I in the childhood in this plan overcame constraint. And sports in me finally eradicated it. Taking an opportunity, I want to address to all Ukrainian girls of my build. Many of them torment themselves. I would recommend to them not to sit and grieve houses in the evenings. ChE they will sob in a pillow, will change nothing. It is necessary to have a self-confidence. I with the build found myself in this life. And let they too find themselves. Let to sumo go. Or will find for itself application in any other branch.

I beat out to the guy two teeth

— If in a dark back street couple of hooligans sticks to you — you will prefer to escape or you will accept battle?

— Probably, for a start I will prefer to debate. I will explain that to be treated now expensively and I will advise to go with the world. If children don't calm down, I will accept battle. To run away not in my rules.

— Happens, what on the street at you point a finger?

— Whisper often. Sometimes it bothers me, and I loudly address to such people with a question: "You something interests? " Usually people redden, ask again, whether you we watched it on TV. And then ask the autograph. I remember, somehow in a minibus the woman asked the autograph. Instead of a piece of paper I stretched the hundred-dollar note. I on it widely undersigned. Somehow in Kharkov in the winter the fellow ran up. And before in here about me the telecast left. The boy asked the autograph. I'm saying: no problem. Where to undersign? ". He takes off a jacket, then a jacket. Then a t-shirt pulls together. Shows the cubes on a stomach. Say, on the press undersign. And me that, I took and signed.

— What plans for next year, except care of the child?

— I have behind the back a successful wrestling against body excess weight, and I want to impart the knowledge in this area another. This year I opened the training camp for those who wants to grow thin. I clearly demonstrate to people that healthy growing thin has nothing in common with pricks, tablets and coding. My course of growing thin is designed for two and for three weeks — for big term it is very difficult to tear off people from the house. And still I want to open camp at itself in the village Interwater where we have the boarding house. The first arrival in camp in 2014 is planned for the middle of March. And further — we will look.
