Wandering off topic. I recently heard a sports commentator talking about baseball injuries. He observed that the current strength training that has changed the game is at the cost of limberness, and may be contributing to the high injury rates. I wonder is this is true in Sumo. Have injuries gone up over the years?

Talk about brain cells! It took me a ridiculously long time to work out that if the previous records of the first match added to 13 this must be day fourtieen. Duh.

I watch via youtube app on Tivo. No problems at all - looks good on my 40 inch TV.

If there were any justice here - and I understand this is Sumo - the fact that the injury was caused by a Matta should have some bearing.

Liked the replays in Day 2 - thanks.

Since no one else commented - thanks for the Kotel simile day 13 - nice.

For anyone with even less Japanese than I have - the Yobidashi is saying Higashi (east) followed by the East Rikishi name twice, then turning, Nishi (west) followed by the West Riksihi name twice.

Again forgive my ignorance - what does (~) stand for in the predictions?

Thanks for sneaking in a bit of font day.

I wish more injured rikishi (Endo?) would take a basho or two off to recover and enjoy the trip back up from Juryo as final rehab.

Compared to what? I'm comparing it to the blank page it replaced and find it wonderful. Thanks as always.

I use the html5 option on youtube with firefox and have no problems.

I hope everyone who so appreciates Kintamayama's and Araibira's contribution will remember that, although we can't do the work for them, we can make sure it doesn't cost them out of pocket as well. If you haven't contributed in the last year, now is the time!
