Great video Kinta, you are equally at ease with mischievous humour or calm and educational style, brilliant. :-)

I hoped for a comment on Ōsunaarashi's first makuuchi matta.

NHK news7 (hidden) day 3 video: Goeido (+interview), Ōsunaarashi (+interview), Endo

Ōsunaarashi got 3 kensho for his first makuuchi win. He wants more (of both).

I'm trying to think of another sport where i see people injured so regularly, injury really is an ever present shadow over Sumo isn't it, i don't know if i'm just feeling despondent or if it's because i'm now close to entering my third year of watching and i'm noticing it more, i don't know.

Thank you very much for the video Kinta.

Hockey. Man-games lost is a regularly-reported team stat.

Endo really should have withdrawn. He hasn't looked very good. I really don't know whether he'll piece together 4 wins before aggravating his injury further.

NHK news7 (hidden) day 5 video: Harumafuji (Paul), Masunoyama, Kisenosato
http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20131114/k10013067041000.html

(one of many videos from) Paul on NHK


Masses of articles with pics of course today - many under society, entertainment etc., but also on the sumo news.
He let Hakuho wait after the dohyo-iri in front of the shitaku-beya with his tsuna on, after 5~10 min. Hakuho gave up on the planned photo shoot - favorite song of course: Let it be

Was funny when Endo got behind Kaisei, i thought it was over but when he tackled him from behind there was no movement at all from kaisei, he just stood rooted to the spot regardless of direction, thank you you Kinta.

It also stuck out to me that Endo seemed to generate almost no pushing power at all from his legs. Must be the injury...

This new Kisenosato is impressing me.

Kinta forgot to include the first part of chiyotairyu's interview. It actual translation went something like, " There is no way to reach komusubi from my position on the banzuke right? Then I'm amazed how well I'm doing in spite of the eye problems."

Hope its not too serious for Kotoyuki!
