Tumppi 0 Posted August 16, 2003 Does anyonw have any pictures of very muscular rikishi or pics in which their muscles look very big? The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to get good proof for various people that sumos are very strong and have muscles, not just fat. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted August 19, 2003 Yeah Chiyonofuji is the one I always give as a muscular example. There are several videos on banzuke.com that illustrate this as well, especially day 11 of 1990 kyusho basho, Chiyonofuji vs. Konishiki. Wow. As an aside, on day 13 of this basho, the above two fought: Chiyonofuji vs. Kirishima, and the video is on banzuke.com as well :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know the reason why that particular basho is available? (Applauding...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QttP 0 Posted August 19, 2003 (edited) Yes, the videos from Kyushu 1990 are great... Does anyone know the reason why that particular basho is available? (Applauding...) Judging from the selection of the videos and from the commentary, I believe it was just a special program dedicated to that basho (after all, it was Chiyonofuji's last yusho) which Dale or someone else happened to catch. Speaking of which, do you realize that Chiyonofuji had won 9 of the 10 Kyushu tournaments in the 80s (1981-1990), including 81-88 in a row? He only lost Kyushu 1989 to Konishiki.
