Sports Nippon newspaper is reporting that Norifumi “KID” Yamamoto will not appear at the NYAC Open on November 18th in New York. This was supposed to be a big event for Yamamoto to participate in for amateur wrestling as far as his hopes of making the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The newspaper report alludes to rumors that Yamamoto might be recovering from an injury and couldn’t make it. The paper claims that Yamamoto will participate in the All Japan championships in January. The big question is whether or not he will be able to participate on K-1’s 12/31 Osaka Dome show if he has to prepare for a big amateur event in January.
