The Piazza di San Marco may be more famous, but the Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge) is the true heart of Venice. The current structure was built in just three years, between 1588 and 1591, as a permanent replacement for the boat bridge and three wooden bridges that had spanned the Grand Canal at various times since the 12th Century. It remained the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot until the Accademia Bridge was built in 1854.
The Rialto Bridge's 7.5-meter (24-foot) arch was designed to allow passage of galleys, and the massive structure was built on some 12,000 wooden pilings that still support the bridge more than 400 years later. The architect, Antonio da Ponte ("Anthony of the Bridge," appropriately enough), competed against such eminent designers as Michelangelo and Palladio for the contract.

Als die dralle Kämpferin im enganliegenden schwarzen Dress am Anfang ihr Gewand abwirft ist schon klar was die Stunde geschlagen hat. Ihr Einsatz ist dann auch überzeugend.

Betrifft: Miwako trägt einen furiosen Angriff vor und versucht ihre Gegnerin im Bodenkampf zu bezwingen. (4:10)
Einen harten Kampf liefert sich Miwako Ishihara (schwarz/rot) mit ihrer Gegnerin. Greift aggressiv an und umklammert sie mit eisernem Griff. Es gelingt ihr auch sie zu Boden zu bringen doch leider veliert sie am Ende in einem schweisstreibenden Bodenkampf.
