Support Anna Represent Australia at the 2026 Sumo World Championships!

I am SO proud to share that my sister, Anna, has been selected to represent Oceania at the 2026 International Sumo Federation World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan, taking place this October. The 2026 International Sumo Federation World Championships is a recognised member of the Association of IOC-Recognised International Sports Federations.

This awesome opportunity comes after her outstanding performance at the 2026 Oceania Sumo Championships, where she won GOLD in the Women's Heavyweight Division and BRONZE in the Women's Open Weight Division.

Anna has been training in Jiu-jitsu for the past few years so it's exciting to see her take on another martial art. Between now and the Sumo World Championships, she will be training intensively and completing final-year of studying (a combined Bachelor of Arts- Anthropology and Master of Nursing).

We're hoping to raise $5,000 to make sure this champion can get there! The funds will go towards flights, accommodation, competition fees, uniforms, travel insurance, and training costs.

If you don't have the capacity to donate please share this page to spread the word. Check out her training journery on instagram, follow @elyardsumo

THANK YOU so much for supporting Anna in her journey, she's always a champion in my eyes, but to see her achieve this goal with your generosity and encouragement means the world!

Special thanks to the International Sumo Federation for this oppotunity!

With love from her big sister, Sarah xx
