The prodigy daughter of Sakai Fish Farm wins world championship for the second time
Two years ago, back in 2017, it was a majestic animal. She was then hoisted on the shield in Tokyo with verve. With 97 cm below the legendary meter; today, however, with 101cm, she is once again the most beautiful Koi in the world.
S-Legend was also the most famous Koi worldwide before this honorary title. That was because she was auctioned for a legendary amount in 2018. For 203,000,000 ten, that is a sloppy 1.5 million euros for a nine-year-old Koi. Until now, the criticism of the most expensive auction Koi was always that you rarely see them again, let alone on a stage. S Legend does grant the spoken prophecy and enjoys the highest title on the highest stage for the second year.
“She stands head and shoulders above the rest”
In 2018, the first year after obtaining the title, the S Legend bred at Sakai Fish Farm was excluded from participation by regulation. Now she was allowed to do her rounds again and although the obvious winner, it is clearly not the majority that won; “Even if she had only done 1500 euros at the auction, she would still have won gloriously,” says Johan Leurs of Koi Zanmai. She stands head and shoulders above the rest”
Soon more about this and the other champions, including a critical look, as far as possible, at this bicolor that with this victory joins an illustrious couple, to be counted on one hand, who have ever won the All Japan Koi Show twice.
