John Gunning 3,599 Posted January 18 Announcement coming in the next hour or so that’s probably going to make some European sumo fans very happy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Gunning 3,599 Posted January 18 Got my days mixed up. It’s tomorrow 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fat Cyclist 31 Posted January 18 Ooh. Interesting. As long as whatever is announced is better than the selected highlights on NHK world I will be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 45,093 Posted January 18 Only Europeans? So it can't be a video breakthrough. Perhaps a jungyo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morning 78 Posted January 18 I guess the ticket sales for London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am the Yokozuna 193 Posted January 18 They would start probably their presale for patrons or whatever they call now their members. But what value does this thread bring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Gunning 3,599 Posted January 18 Nothing to do with London. Can’t say more until the announcement is made tomorrow but it will happen probably around 2pm Japan time 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am the Yokozuna 193 Posted January 18 So what is the point of the thread? A placeholder? You would not provide us any inside information that we could use to exercise any trades on it. We would find the info from Kinta’s or Akinomaki’s great summaries anyhow. At least the guy with thousands threads for each article he stumbles on at least provides some info. The Daily Mail would be proud if you joined them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koorifuu 990 Posted January 18 Bittersweet if that's more events across Europe. Happy that you might get a chance closer to you, sad that I'll see fewer of you in London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yamanashi 3,839 Posted January 18 Anyway, thanks for the news, John. I know you can't reveal embargoed news if you want to keep getting tips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only that but a major news agency just got slapped with punishments and threatened with having their access to a certain sport revoked for accidentally putting embargoed news online for a few minutes half an hour before the time allowed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asapedroryu 235 Posted January 18 Maybe we are getting tiktok banned in Europe tomorrow too. That would make this sumo fan very happy indeed. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gernobono 466 Posted January 19 guess the news is, they are coming to paris in 2026 https://www.sumo.or.jp/IrohaKyokaiInformation/detail?id=682 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faustonowaka 129 Posted January 19 Excellent! I’ll be there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fat Cyclist 31 Posted January 19 Pooh. I was hoping for some better TV coverage. It does seem odd to come to Europe & then make it really difficult to watch the regular tournaments. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kajiyanosho 38 Posted January 19 3 hours ago, John Gunning said: Yep Great news! Odd choice of dates, though. The tournament coincides with the start of the football World Cup (the inaugural match is on the 11th) - that might well impact media exposure. At this point I'm hoping for Colosseum 2027!
