hiroshitakubo 12 Posted March 23, 2017 Been browsing through this forum for some time now and finally decided to actively take part in forums life. Firstly, excuse my poor English and secondly there is a short introduction of myself: My name's Maciek, 29 years old from Poland. Like many of the European sumo fans I started from watching sumo on Eurosport around the beginning of 2000', then after it had been pulled down from Eurosport I had a weird 9-10 years when I unexplicably forgot about sumo. Last year right before Kyushu Basho I somehow revived my interest in sumo and was positively surpised to see that Aminishiki is still around! WOW! I am amazed by how extensive the knowledge of some of the members is, you guys are just walking sumo encyclopedias! A lot to learn, a lot to catch up to! Loved old lions (Ake, Taka-Waka, Musa, Asashoryu etc.), loving new tigers (Takayasu, Terrorfuji)! ^_^ 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orandashoho 720 Posted March 23, 2017 Welcome to the Sumoforum community! I was an avid Eurosumowatcher too and the same thing happened -- my interest in sumo starved for lack of feeds, until four years ago when I had a lot of time on my hands googled the ring names of yore and found this forum. And Kintayama and Jason and many many others brought sumo back into my heart. This is a great place with generous people not only willing to share their wealth of information with people like me, but donating a lot of their time to do it. We also do fun games to give an extra edge to the suspense of a basho and increase our own knowledge and understanding at the same time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the beginning I thought that I'll be stucked in the past too much and won't appreciate sumo of today, fortunately I qiuckly realized how wrong I was and while still missing old days I've found myself bit by sumo bug again after all these years and man, it feels good to be back :D On 24.03.2017 at 00:22, Senkoho said: Witamy serdecznie!

Haha, that made me rollin' on my non-existent carpet. Polskie Ogorki should be enough to survive in Poland, at least for long enough to learn some more useful phrases 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
