Thank you for the videos. Simple question: what does the "ISP" abbreviation mean in match captions? I searched for it in the forum but did not find an answer. Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately the article, http://www.ohtuleht.ee/469776, does not have much to say. "Sumo needs a new Yokozuna. The only(?!) option is Baruto, but..." Short summary follows. Sumo needs a rivalry, which in turn will bring in the audience. Baruto might not be suitable for the role of the yokozuna because of his character. A few words about yokozuna Taiho who was born on the island of Sakhalin and is considered to be the first yokozuna of European origin. That is about it.

(Clapping wildly...) Time has come to dig out my forum credentials and congratulate Baruto and all his fans :-)

It seems to me that Baruto is not very happy in Japan. He is having hard time getting used to the kind of life sumo offers. Maybe when talking to outsiders (eg journalists from Estonia) he enjoys the chance of being straightforward, almost brutally honest. He is physically talented for sumo but culturally almost from a different planet. PS Having myself for the last year and a half lived in a very different (Muslim) culture I find that there are some things that I accept and other things that I just endure.

Most appreciated. (Whistling...)

Thanks a lot for translation...

Thank you for your efforts. I am glad to note that your karma account must be overflowing. (I am not worthy...) PS The hidden message behind all these "thank you"'s is the hope that you continue to provide free and up to date videos... (Whistling...)

True/False? Every japanese knows top sumo wrestlers. For me false as the couple of japanese I have talked to about sumo were in difficulties with coming up with names of current top rikishes.

This bag looks small compared to Baruto. Can anybody enlighten me what is in the bag and how heavy it might be?

A short translation/summary follows: Japanese journalists hunt for Baruto even in Estonia Three japanese journalists are looking for Baruto's background information. Any information is about him is considered to worth of gold. Farther of sumo in Estonia - Riho Rannikmaa has invited Baruto to participate in opening of his memorial sign at Vinni sports centre. The sign says "Baruto's dojo and wrestling hall". It means that construction work will start soon. As a result the first full size sumo hall will be built in Baltic states. ... Praise from the president ... Baruto answered to many questions during 20 minute interview. Is he happy being so far away from his fartherland, does he still enjoy sumo? "One must love sumo in order to do it properly" - smiles the strongman. ... Baruto is truly grateful to the president of International Sumo Association Mr. Hidetoshi Tanaka . "Thanks to him I went to Japan. Mrs. Tanaka was like a mother to me until I became professional". "Baruto is very popular among japanese" praises the president - " He is an outstanding athlete and he will reach the absolute top. Everybody in Japan in expecting that". Baruto's mother Mrs. Tiina Pudel tells to the newspaper "It is not easy in a foreing country. Sometimes Kaido calls me many times a day just to talk to somebody". According to mother's words son is not regretting the chosen path and wants to see how far he can advance. "Kaid has almost no private life, all hours of his days are planned in advance". To young for girls According to rules 21 year old should not have a girlfriend - he is considered to young! "One can find a girlfriend after coach has agreed to it" enlightens Baruto. He has been allowed to come to home for three days with the help from Mr. Tanaka. "According to the rules I first have to ask permission from coach and then from the sumo federation" explains Kaido " but usually my request does not go beyond my mentor". Rise on the sumo hierachy has not made Kaido's life easier. "There is less and less free time, media is surrounding me"- he sighed. "I am tired of attention and I am not giving my signature any more to anybody who asks". Among other things H

http://www.sportnet.ee/index.php?id=31935 "Rakvere is getting ready for sumo world championships" On Saturday the best junior sumo wrestlers will be determined in Rakvere. First time organisers have done a good job though there were some minor problems. Builders and administration were shocked when sumo specialists from Japan announced that dohyo is not good enough and that a new one is needed. It was difficult to make it clear to the guests that the dohyo was not ready yet. By Tuesday morning when builders have been busy thoughout the night the result was shown and the japanese were were satisfied.

I am glad to see that Baruto managed to finish the tournament in a solid fashion. Maybe the more knowledgeable forum members can bring up comparisons from sumo history. I have a feeling that 9-6 in 2nd basho in Makuuchi is a good result. His comments regarding the losses confirm what I already suspected that fighting while semi-injured and/or in pain can take the spirit out the contest. Mental toughness could be a deciding factor when two not-so-healthy wrestlers compete. This time the match with yokozuna did not happen so it is something I look forward to during the next basho.

Congratulations to Baruto for his first win against an Ozeki! (You are going off-topic...) After two losses in a row it should be a good consolation.
