  When Troy Collins announced he would not be coming, the chances of having any Mongolian sumotori joining us became slimmer still.

  As the only referee, Douglas Cochran worked his tail off through a massive preliminary schedule. (Troy Collins had been scheduled to split the officiating with Doug, but was unable to come due to LAPD work commitments.) Jeff Riddle was at one of the corners as a line judge: the others were Koji Makiyama (JPN), Davaadorj Damdin (MGL), and former women's heavyweight competitor Kairi Kuur (EST).

  Special to SUMO SHIMPO by Troy Collins

  EDITOR'S NOTE: Troy has just been named the "Best Downtown Athlete" by the editors of the LA DOWNTOWN NEWS. The citation text reads as follows:
  
  LAPD Sumo Wrestler Troy Collins
  
  When Troy Collins entered his first sumo wrestling tournament in 2001, he had never before tried the sport; he finished third. Soon after, he was the U.S. middleweight champion. These days, he continues to don the mawashi (no, it's not a loincloth) after he finishes his shift as a Downtown police officer. What stands out about Collins - besides the cut, six-foot-two, 253-pound frame - is that he's a great ambassador for the sport. He has exposed hundreds to it, and eagerly discusses the intricacies.

  Among the latter was current US middleweight champion Troy Collins (CSA), who had aggravated a previous injury earlier in the month at the Worlds in Japan. He functioned as line judge while "Tonkatsu" put on the whites and officiated.

  I was surprised to see United States middleweight champion Troy Collins in 'civvies' here, what with the Amateur Worlds taking place the following weekend. But Troy (both on and off the dohyo) is confident about himself without slipping into cockiness: he said he was ready, and that was that.
  ...
  In the middleweights, Troy Collins started off well, winning his first match over Rungraj Pongpaphachen of Thailand with his favorite kimarite, hatakikomi. In round two, Troy lost to Todor Dzhurov of Bulgaria by yorotaoshi: when Mr. Dzhurov subsequently lost, Troy's quest for an individual medal was done.

  The US team of Carl Pappalardo, Troy Collins and Rene Marte drew a bye in the first round of the team competition.

  In the next round, they lost 3-0 to Norway: Carl lost to Hans Borg by yorikiri and Troy and Rene lost to Ronny Allman and Hans Jordalan respectively, both by yoritaoshi.

  Troy Collins Commands Goltz Sumo VIII, Wins Award
  ...
  The eighth annual Goltz Sumo Tournament at the Alexander Hughes Center in Claremont saw United States and California middleweight champion Troy Collins start 2005 the way he finished 2004, by sweeping both competitions he entered. Troy topped a tough six-man middleweight field and followed it up by winning the open division. Dating back to last year's SHUUBUN tournament, this marks two consecutive tournaments without a loss for the LAPD's top-ranked sumotori. He also received the 2004 SUMO SHIMPO Award as the Outstanding California Sumotori of the year. And he did it all under the proud gaze of his mother, who had come out from Virginia.
  ...
  In addition to Collins' Sumotori of the Year award, Van Eede was named the SUMO SHIMPO Rookie of the Year.
