Midoriyama 35 Posted January 10, 2019 Hey all! I´ve started to follow sumo thank to Eurosport daily highlights back in the days (I guess around 2001-2002) and was a huge fan of Yokozuna Asashoryu and Ozeki Kaio back then. After Eurosport stopped showing sumo in 2007 or so I put sumo on the back of my head somehow and came back to it 3-4 years ago mainly watching the daily recaps on youtube. My favorites from my "new sumo era" include Onosho, Takakeisho and Takayasu I chose my shikona because of my love of nature and mountains 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yamanashi 3,904 Posted January 11, 2019 Welcome to the Forum! When you stopped following Sumo in 2007, would you have guessed that a Bulgarian, an Estonian and a Georgian would someday win a yusho? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way the UK is going it will be like the USA and the Russian federation on the streets before you know it...... I look at the crime statistics for the USA and I see the future of the UK.....

Midoriyama 35 Posted January 12, 2019 Lol I wouldnt say that its any more dangerous than any European country... Yamanashi - I certainly wouldnt but its great to see European rikishis doing well. Tochinoshin and his run to Ozeki promotion was nice to see. Too bad he is dealing with injuries now - I am concerned about him for the upcoming basho. Cant wait for tomorrow guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
