>[STARDOM] Ami Souri makes a great advance after a year absence... Her opponent in the 5STAR finals: "She'll definitely come out on top"
>Ami Souri (28), a member of the women's professional wrestling group Stardom, spoke of her passionate desire to win the midsummer festival "5STAR GP" for the first time. She is currently undefeated with three consecutive wins and six points, putting her in sole first place in the Blue Stars A Block. What are Souri's ambitions?
>Soreya injured the meniscus in his left knee during practice in July last year. He was forced to take a long break of about a year before making his comeback in June this year. Having been unable to play in the league last year, he has strong feelings about this year. "I was watching 5STAR all the time in my hospital room, and I was determined to stand here next year and win. I knew it would take a year for me to return after injuring my knee, so I wanted to be ready for 5STAR in time. I'm now venting the frustration that's been building up over the past year. I'm happy that I'm able to do what I wanted to do," he said with a sparkle in his eyes.
>The reason she has been able to advance this far is because she has a particular opponent she wants to face in the final: Hanan, the opponent she lost to in the final match of last spring's Cinderella Tournament.
>"Actually, when I returned, Hanan said she wanted to face me. At that time I promised her that we could do it again at the appropriate time. I think that will be the 5STAR final. I'm sure Hanan will come out on top."
>During her absence, the Stardom landscape changed dramatically. The Wonder Championship went to Starlight Kid, and the World Championship went to Saya Kamitani of the evil group "HATE." Sorei, who was in charge of live commentary for the year, spent the time feeling frustrated.
