SUMO - Fukuoka - Day 6 highlights 11-14-08

I found a sumo highlights program on NHK late last night at about 2am, so I taped the last 5 or so matches of Day 6.

Enjoy!

I thought that Kotooshu guy was banned for marijuana use...hmm apparently not!

Nope - that wrestler was from Russia and was named Wakanoho.

Thanks for the post! I think the sumo digest program (25-30 minutes) is on NHK every day of the tournament. It usually starts between 1 and 2 a.m.

No one else seems to be posting the broadcasts this tournament. I hope you can do it some more.

I like hearing the Japanese too.

I hope Ama gets can earn the promotion to Ozeki after this tournament.

Thanks again.

I watched several of your vids and learnt quite an interesting cultural stuffs. Sometime it feels there are too many mongolians dominating sumo. It would be more interesting if japans and foreigners equally take that giant cup.
