    2021 "Kozumo" Hatsu Basho discussion thread

    Plane of the dohyo is not a consideration. Judges don't call a bout taking sansho prizes into consideration. I understand your frustration.

    Rikishi on the attack will be given consideration when so close in real time. Even though Kagayaki hit first a replay was inevitable.

    Sumo is on NHK premium thru local providers. No idea of the cost but they don't just provide sumo so you probably get more than you want.
