I stopped watching. Absolute waste of time.

BBC detected my VPN. But PlutoTV did not, and I am watching. But only on the phone; it does not work on my laptop with VPN - go figure.

2:30 pm and 7:30 pm GMT?

BBC has a way of detecting if VPN is being used and blocks the access. I will try anyway.

Aonishiki speaking better Japanese than the journalist dude who's been in the country 35 years longer is not a great look for the journalist dude. Speaks to Aonishiki's talent for languages, but but also to the power of immersion method of language learning, and his total embrace of Japanese culture. Ozumo brass should love Aonishiki - a great world ambassador for the sport, and more respectful to ozumo traditions and spirit than some Japanese rikishi. His declining to answer questions about the war is interesting. For example, the most famous Ukrainian fighter Oleksandr Usyk condemns Russia at every turn. Personal choice I guess.

Hoshoryu was halfway down to the floor when Onosato's hand touched the dohyo. Pretty clear cut Onosato win to me.

Love the yoriquiri. I will never look at dai-quiri quite the same way again.

Forget the sumo; I come here for Kintamayama's puns...

"They ain't nothin' till I call them..." ;)

Aonishiki outthrusted Kotozakura from the center of the ring. A much bigger man. Didn't even have to reach into his bag of tricks. I want to see Aonishiki-Ura this basho!

I was wondering what was so awkward about Shishi sumo and your post clarified it for me. His footwork is atrocious. Compare it to Aonishiki footwork (I know, smaller man), which is brilliant.

Bono was neither. -;

Stop it!!!

So are we gonna get Hoshoryu vs Onosato on senshuraku? Would be a bout of some significance.

Because of you guys, every time I see Meisei now I see him having sashimi in Miami. Damn you...
