Again at 20:10 CET, 00:10, 8:30, 12:30. Focus on Osunaarashi: only his bouts in the Natsu basho. Then the focus was on the gyoji, at first the retired Shonosuke, then the gyoji refereeing the bout, especially the tate-gyoji, with many scenes from old bouts. And you could see that in his debut basho at the final kami-okuri ritual for sending the deities from the dohyo back up, Osunaarashi did NOT take part in throwing the gyoji in the air. He was standing in the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikanohara 171 Posted July 22, 2013 I did see this documentary on Belgian television yesterday. I was pretty amazed it reached Belgian broadcast. Watching the docu I felt like this young guy wasn't going to persist very long. Especially as after 8 months he still talked about having made the wrong choice. Even though he already had a 6-1 basho under his belt. He also didn't seem to feel much for the life of a sumo wrestler, and didn't care much about how he performed. So when I tracked him down on sumo database, I actually expected not to find him around anymore. But to my surprise, he has already reached Makushita. He went down since, but he might reach Makushita again and who knows even become a sekitori some day ? Very unexpected, after watching this documentary, I must say.Meanwhile Kyokutaisei is back in Makushita, on a career high rank. Not bad at all. Amazing feat of this lad, climbing to a new personal high. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaji 1 Posted August 29, 2013 Hi, I found this documentary on mongolian sumo and mongolian rikishi (in Japan), by Aljazeera TV. Maybe not very deep, but interesting anyway. PS: I didn´t know whether to put this reply on the "mongolian wrestling" topic or the "sumo documentary" topic. (Scratching chin...) But as this is a documentary and is (also) about japanese sumo, I used this topic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
