Wrestling legend Saori Yoshida is recognized as a remarkable winner for what she accomplished on the mat.

Even though she claimed a silver medal at her final marquee competition, the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, that won¡¯t change. After all, she followed her father¡¯s words instead of chasing another Olympic dream and made a difficult decision.

Two days after her retirement announcement, the legend appeared in public and once again spoke about her intention of stepping off the mat at a Tokyo news conference on Thursday.
