September Sumo Tournament

It's Sumo time again & for 15 days (starting last Sunday), I will be glued to the TV every afternoon from 4 until 6 pm. Here on the Air Station, we get a bilingual broadcast on Channel 41, which is a Japanese NHK channel. It's very exciting & I am totally addicted to Japanese sumo! Want to know more? Check it out here (LOTS of info in this website): http://sumo.goo.ne.jp/eng/ozumo_joho_kyoku/shiru/kiso_chishiki/beginners_guide/index.html

I have many favorites for whom I cheer, but here's my favorite Grand Champion, Hakuho, originally from Mongolia. It's been a long time since the Grand Champion has been Japanese.
