Sumo

The March Basho just ended. Hakuho tore off 15 wins in a row to take home the Emperor's Cup, again; a career pinnacle sort of performance for every other rikishi, and just another perfect tourney for the Ichiban man. I'm surprised more people here (in the USA) don't follow Sumo. We definitely support the other combat sports, and it's so old and full of honor and tradition, an exploration of human achievement and folly at the same time. Well the May tourney's only 2 months away; until then, I'll miss you, Sumo.
