KK, Gino-sho and Kanto-sho with Harumafuji on my team!? The end is neigh... And I stopped following basho after realising Harumafuji is kyujo (and there is no stream). Hm, maybe that's the reason why. :-)

What age? He's 30, not quite decrepit Metuzalem. In his prime, some would say.

YAOCHO seems more appropriate in recent times...

I was hoping that Kotooshu and Baruto would go for tsuna, now when Asa is gone. But Osh seems to be content as an ozeki and Baruto lacks sumo sense whatsoever. Can you imagine Baruto with Ama's drive and technique? And I mean Ama, because Harumafuji also is somewhat lost.

I still wont play GTB, but, oh my, this call made my day. (Band playing...)

Excellent. Off course, for better understanding for japanese-impaired people somebody should translate "Kintama" part of the shikona. I (think I) know what it means, but my reference is certain similar-sounding anime series, so I'll left translation for somebody with more authority.

None of the above. 12+ wins, no yusho and no promotion.

Viewable only within USA.

Thanks Zentoryu. It was a weird basho. For example, on day 4 I scored nice round 100 points with solid 7-4 W/L record and ended dead last in division, 34 point below average.

And standings should be official again ... Kofuji And so it is! Thanks Kofuji & Zentoryu. (I am not worthy...)

This is so easy to prove/disprove. Collect hair samples from brothers, send it to three different verified labs on 3 different continents and wait for results. Even ex Hakurozan still have enough hair for this.

Awwww you had to go and spoil it didn't you.... :-O I cant be the only one here who doesn't know anything about computers except how to switch them on..... Fujisan, I was also chainman, sound technician, foreman and soldier before even starting with IT. Also have 6 years stint as policeman in between. So, its never too late. Manual in the hands and heat the chair.

I'm a bricklayer currently working as software developer for oil industry.

I did. Twice. Yet still no confirmation E-mail received. (Wearing a paperbag...) Hope it'l be OK.

What henka? TV commentators did not mention it, not once, contrary to Chiotaikai's. BTW, this Toyasuko deserves beer from every SF member every time, whoever he (or she) is. 20 minutes after the bout it was available on youtube.

Woo-hoo! ;-) Thanks Zentoryu. :-)

Yes, I did watch this program, now I know karaoke origins. (Blowing up furiously...) FYI, JSTV shows Nagoya basho every day 12:35-14:00 CET on Hotbird satellite, transponder 94, frequency 12597 V, visible from (most of) Europe, North Africa and Middle East.

Ozumo Nagoya Basho Shonichi (first day) Aichi-ken Taikukan (Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium) Thanks Otokonoyama! Must turn my antenna to Hotbird (Sign of approval) .

Hi! Can someone check on http://www.jstv.co.uk/program/b02_sun.html and verify that JSTV will show Nagoya basho? Babelfish says 'Grand sumo tournament Nagoya place' from 14:15 to 16:10 CET on sunday. OTOH babelfish says 'NHK throat pride', so I'm not sure about translation. (Nodding yes...) Last basho was not shown on JSTV, only clips in news. TIA, Mariomaru.

He was DQ in qualifications, but he competed in the main event due his rank in World Cup, that is, first 15 ranked jumpers in World Cup are automatically qualified.

<snip> Then when he ended his career, he received a lucrative financial offer from K-1 which came at a good time for him, needing the money. <snip> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What did he do with money earned? My quick'n'dirty rule-of-thumb calculation shows over 400 MILLION yen earned in 8 years as yokozuna, just from salary, bonus pay and yusho money. But then, I'm a bricklayer and could be wrong.
