  • Injury update from Chris Sumo on YouTube.

  • Some of the latest sumo news from Chris Sumo makes me sad. I’m a big Takakeisho fan, and hearing that he isn’t performing at his usual level has me worried since he has a shot at a Yokozuna run. I’m also sad to hear that the current and only Yokozuna, Terunofuji, may not be in the next tournament.

    I’m sure we will still get some really good sumo in the upcoming tournament. Always a treat to watch.

  • Another sumo update from Chris Sumo over on Youtube. Always good to see his videos and catch up on some of the latest sumo news.

  • I really enjoy Chris Sumo’s videos, and this one was kind of bittersweet. When my brother got me interested into sumo four years ago, Hakuho was one of my favorite wrestlers to see. He was so dominant it was impressive. Little did I know at the time that he had been at the top of the sport for years, and he was nearing the end. Too bad I didn’t get into the sport sooner to see him compete longer. It’s sad to know that he is finally done even if he hasn’t competed for awhile now.

    Good luck Hakuho on your future. You were impressive.

  • I’ve been a sumo fan for four years now. My brother, who introduced me to the sport, decided to pick a wrestler for me to root for: Takakeisho. I don’t remember how he came to the conclusion that Takakeisho would be my guy, but I ran with it from the beginning and seeing Takakeisho have lots of ups and downs since then has been quite a ride. I’ve enjoyed it and learned to root for a ton of others that I really like.

    So, I’m happy to say that Takakeisho winning the January tournament has me super excited. I know there is talk about him possibly getting promoted to the highest rank, Yokozuna, I would love for that to happen, but we shall see. I can’t wait to see what the March tournament will bring.
