OT: Sumo Autumn Tourney

You can find daily digest of top division sumo on Robert Mensing's Youtube page.

I know the David vs. Goliath matches are always popular, here's one from the Juryo division:



Bonus: Here are a couple of pictures from my sumo days

For sure. I’d love to see one of these guys try to get wrench the other for exposure points.
