yutarotanaka 104 Posted April 21, 2019 https://photos.app.goo.gl/2vRBVCLuZH47Aj6h8 Ichinojo and Enho #BiggieAndSmallie Should this photo be transferred to the 'Sumo with kids' thread? I mean look at the size discrepancy. I would probably take 2 1/2 Enho's to match Ichinojo's mass. Yikes! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benihana 1,948 Posted April 21, 2019 I think makuuchi hasn't seen something like that since the days of Konishiki. On the one hand i WANT to see that match, on the other hand i fear for Enho's health. But more curious am i, if Enho can make it high enough on the banzuke. You got a typo there... 2 hours ago, yutarotanaka said: It would probably take 2 1/2 Enho's to match Ichinojo's ass. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rainoyama 1,157 Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Terunofuji 10 years ago doing judo wearing a Polo shirt... Doesn't need to wear Judogi anyway. In the next frame he probably grabbed the two guys by the belt and lifted then above his head until they cry for mercy...

sumojoann 1,269 Posted August 17, 2019 This is a segment from an old Warren Miller movie. It's quite a sight to see a Rikishi doing Shiko in ski boots on a ski slope before he gets on the lift. And wearing a Mawashi, too!! lol 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sumojoann 1,269 Posted August 21, 2019 Here is a funny Youtube video entitled "Could a Sumo Wrestler be an NFL Lineman?". The American NFL Quarterback Tom Brady tries to push back a sumo wrestler on a Dohyo in a Heya. As expected, Brady can't make the wrestler budge. The Youtuber goes on explain that Yokozuna Wakanohana tried to become a football player with the American NFL and even signed a contract with the Arizona Rattlers in 2002. But because of his previous injuries, his age (31), and his inability to laterally move well enough, it didn't work out for him. There is a funny scene of Rikishi racing each other on a track. At the very end, there is a photo of a young Hakuho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konrad 3 Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) It's not perfectly suited for this topic, but I don't want to create a new thread for it: If I remember it correctly, I got the following pictures from the forum, but I cannot find the thread anymore. Does anybody of you know where they were posted? I have to provide them via an imgur gallery as they are gifs and too big to upload them directly, the link is https://imgur.com/a/qfHmata.
