Anyone else here a fan of sumo? I started watching in the late 80s, early 90s. I was a huge fan of the 'Wolf', yokozuna Chiyonofuji. Trying to find streams that will keep me up to date these days. Such a great sport. Here's a good video to watch to learn a bit more about it...

I followed sumo for many years, but I lost interest a little when my favorite wrestler, Asashoryu was forced to retire for behavior that was not considered exemplary for a yokozuna. Another issue is that since I left Japan, it has not been easy to watch sumo because not many countries show it on TV. However, I know that Hakuho now has the record number of titles because he had it easy after Asashoyru was dismissed.

I don't follow Sumo at all, but remember they used to have segments on Channel 4 in the UK, and I used to really enjoy watching it.
