Wait till you've heard about this sport where they chase around a ball here and there. Imagine what kind of sandwich you could make (and enjoy) with 90-mins bouts... :-P

A Dagwood perhaps.

Thank you for the reminder how strong and fierce prime Aoiyama was! Unfortunately not much left in the tank 10 years later...

I had no idea Aoiyama could move that well back in the time! Is there some way to watch older basho somewhere? (Sorry if this is not the appropriate place to be asking that, I don't know my way very well yet.)

Some of those video links may still work: http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Query_bout.aspx?show_form=0&rowcount=5&video=on&shikona1=Aoiyama

Just tried a couple dozen of those links, they all say "Private video". I'm guessing these are linking to the original Kintamayama channel?

We should all thank the NHK.

What I personally found more surprising than Aoiyama's 2013 level of agility was Aoiyama's 2013 amount of knee taping, honestly.
