kairiki 8 Posted December 29, 2019 Hey all. I've been following sumo on and off for the past several years but have been seriously watching the Bashos for the past year now. I could never find a quality place to watch the streams up until recently when I discovered that people on youtube/twitch have been streaming them and making videos. Anyways, I first remember seeing sumo on tv in the 90s when they used to broadcast the tournaments on ESPN. I was always intrigued by sumo because its so culturally rich and the spectacle of these large men clashing in a small ring was really cool to me. I didn't know people that size could be that athletic! Been a fan ever since. I joined Sumo Forum today because I need a place to get my sumo fix between Bashos and people to chop it up with about this great sport. All time favorite rikishi: Chiyonofuji Current favorite: Enho (The Honeybadger) Others I root for: Ura, Abi, Ikioi, Wakaichiro Clearly I'm a fan of technicians or unorthodox weirdo style sumo. Haha. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shimodahito 244 Posted January 3, 2020 welcome to the forum! there are some incredible discussions on the "honbasho talk" thread during the bashos; interesting finds on the "ozumo discussion" threads; and if you want to leisurely participate, check out the "sumo games" thread.
