(Holiday feeling...) Happy birthday !!! (Holiday feeling...) Hope to see even more of your basho photo raports in upcoming year (Showing respect...)

Amazing. I've never expected it. Seriously his progress is simply unbelievable. First ozeki promotion and now yusho... sky is the limit. (Sign of approval...)

I'm terrible late :-) Happy birthday Fay !!! (Whistling...)

Better late than never... (In jonokuchi...) Happy Birthday! (Hugging...)

I'm a building engineer. I work on the field.

Thanks! I was pretty busy lately... Wedding, work etc. I didn't follow sumo world and our forum for a while.

Obviously creatine isn't any form of doping. It's a supplement. All amateur bodybuilder's federations accept this specific (I'm not talking about pros like IFBB because they do tests only against diuretics). I ate few packets myself - it isn't any secret weapon or something... I'm sure all top rikishi use real stuff like our good old polish Omnadren, Metanabol or even Anapolon (Anadrol 50 equivalent). You can't regenerate quickly without steroids. Injuries are part of sumo... Enough said.

Roho... (Clapping wildly...)

Awesome. They should put this pic into new sumo calendar or something. (In a state of confusion...)

Indeed. Total carnage ! I'm still standing though :-P

Nah. He is not ready yet. They know about it. J1W

For me it's pretty obvious that every single Yokozuna would be knocked out quickly on the K1 or MMA arena. Maybe not in the pathetic Akebono's fashion though. Same goes in the opposite direction. Every MMA champion would be kicked out from the dohyo even faster. Period.

Thank you. (Whistling...)

Yeah. :-( I'm surprised too... Chaingang - I'm already out. It's even bitter for me because firstly I've planned to pick Sakaizawa or Yoshikaze up but my second thought was "Nah... it's a first day I need a certainty." They both won. Tochiozan lost.
