Career
Kyōko Hamaguchi is the daughter of professional wrestler Heigo "Animal" Hamaguchi. She grew up in Tokyo and was a competitive sport swimming as a child . At the age of 14 she switched to wrestling. Her first trainer was her father, with whom she trained in his "Hamaguchi Training Gym" in Tokyo. Later, Ryo Kanehama and Kazuhito Sakae joined the national team as coaches. As an adult, she fights in the heaviest weight class in women's wrestling, which was up to 75 kg and since 2002 up to 72 kg. At 1.80 meters she is one of the tallest of the world class wrestlers. She is practically a professional wrestler and is sponsored by Japan Beverage , a beverage company.
Kyōko Hamaguchi's international career began when he took part in the 1995 World Cup in Moscow in the weight class up to 70 kg when he was seventeen. At this start she still had to pay hardship and landed in 13th place. Just one year later she became the first Japanese champion and a little later in Xianshoh / China also Asian champion in the weight class up to 70 kg. At the 1996 World Cup in Sofia , she improved to 7th place.
In 1997 she achieved her first major success at an international championship. In Clermont-Ferrand she became world champion in the weight class up to 75 kg body weight. In the final, she defeated Kristie Marano (Davis) from the United States . She repeated this success in 1997 and 1998 at the World Championships in Poznań and in Boden / Sweden . In the final fights she defeated Kristie Marano again at both championships.
In 2000 and 2001, Kyōko Hamaguchi was no longer so successful. At the World Championships in Sofia in 2000 she came third behind Christine Nordhagen from Canada and Edyta Witkowska from Poland and even missed the medal ranks at the 2001 World Championships in Sofia with a 4th place. She lost u. a. also against Nina Englich from Germany .
In 2002 she returned to the road to success. She was first in Busan winner of the Asian Games before Kang Min-Jeong from South Korea and Jana Panowa from Kyrgyzstan . Then she became world champion for the fourth time in Chalkida / Greece . With Swetlana Martinenko from Russia , Maider Unda Gonzales de Audicana from Spain , Galina Iwanowa from Bulgaria , Edyta Witkowska and Wang Xu from China, she defeated five tough opponents. At the 2003 World Cup in New York , she won her fifth world title. She defeated Swetlana Sajenko from Ukraine , Kaliraman Sonika from India , Edyta Witkowska, Stanka Slatewa from Bulgaria and Toccara Montgomery from the United States .
In 2004 Kyōko Hamaguchi was Asian champion in Tokyo before Otschirbatyn Burmaa from Mongolia . At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens she won the weight class up to 72 kg, initially over Toccara Montgomery and Stanka Slatewa, but had to admit defeat to the Chinese Wang Xu in her third fight. With the victory over Swetlana Sajenko, she saved a bronze medal .
At the World Championships in Budapest in 2005 and in Guangzhou / China in 2006 , she was then vice-world champion. In Budapest she defeated u. a. the Chinese Wang Jiao , who will play a role in her further career and lost in the final battle against Iris Smith from the United States. In 2006 she defeated four world-class wrestlers in Guangzhou with Otschirbatyn Burmaa, Kristie Marano, Swetlana Sajenko and Ohenewa Akuffo from Canada, but in the final she was defeated for the first time by Bulgarian Stanka Slatewa, who practically became her successor on the world championship throne in the next few years.
In 2006, 2007 and 2008 Kyōko Hamaguchi won again at the Asian Cup, while she came in second place at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha behind Wang Xu and at the 2007 World Cup in Baku after losing to Stanka Slatewa and Olga Schanibekowa from Kazakhstan even landed in 9th place. At the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 she won over Jelena Perepelkina from Russia and Rosangela Conceicao from Brazil , then lost to Wang Jiao, which again broke her dream of an Olympic gold medal . But she managed to win an Olympic bronze medal again with a victory over Ali Sue Bernard from the United States.
After a year break, Kyōko Hamaguchi started again in 2010 at the World Cup in Moscow . She first scored two notable victories over Kateryna Burmistrowa from Ukraine and Otschirbatyn Burmaa before losing to Ohenewa Akuffo. With a victory over Maider Unda Gonzales de Audicana, she won a bronze medal. At the 2011 World Cup in Istanbul , she lost again in her second fight against Ohenewa Akuffo. Since this did not reach the final, she was eliminated and only came in 11th place.
In 2011, Kyoko Hamaguchi won her 16th Japanese championship with a victory in the final battle over Mami Shinkai . With five world championship titles, four other world championship medals, two Olympic bronze medals, a victory at the Asian Games and four Asian championship titles, she is without a doubt one of the most successful wrestlers in the world since women's wrestling was introduced in the late 1980s.
She qualified in March 2012 in Astana to take part in her third Olympic Games in London in 2012 . There she took 2nd place behind Wang Jiao. In London, however, she lost her first fight against Gouzel Manjurowa from Kazakhstan on points (1: 2 rounds, 2:10 points). Since this did not reach the final battle, she was eliminated and only came in 11th place.
In 2013, Kyoko Hamaguchi did not take part in any international competitions. In December 2013 she celebrated a successful comeback at the Japanese championship after a long break. She won her 16th Japanese championship there, defeating the Asian champion Hiroe Suzuki in the semifinals and Mami Shinkai in the final. In March 2014, together with Mami Shinkai, she represented the Japanese colors at the Team World Cup in Tokyo in the weight class up to 75 kg. In the grandiose 8-0 victory of Japan over Russia in the final battle, she defeated Jekaterina Bukina on points.
