raskekaalu

Raskekaalu is an Estonian word that translates to "heavyweight" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of sports, particularly combat sports such as boxing and wrestling, to denote the heaviest weight class. In these disciplines, the raskekaalu category typically encompasses athletes above a certain weight threshold, which can vary depending on the specific sport's rules and governing body. For example, in professional boxing, the heavyweight division usually starts at 200 pounds (90.7 kg).

Beyond combat sports, the term raskekaalu can also be applied metaphorically to describe anything of significant weight or importance. For instance, a person might be described as having "raskekaalu" influence in a particular field if they are a dominant and highly respected figure. Similarly, a "raskekaalu" problem would refer to a very serious or challenging issue. The usage of the term emphasizes magnitude and power, whether in a literal physical sense or a figurative one.
