For those of you who have never seen a sumo match, load up your bittorrent client (I use Azureus) and download this torrent.

This is the final day of the sumo tournament going on right now that I attended last week. The video is two hours long, and is just the Makuuchi division (the 40 highest ranked wrestlers). The final day was a bit of an exhibition, since Hakuho won the tournament yesterday. The only question for today was whether he would finish the tournament undefeated. With this win, and his win at the last tournament in March, he is expected to be promoted to become the 69th Yokozuna.

One match is not going to make a fan out of you… I’ve been following the current Yokozuna, Asashoryu, since he became Yokozuna around the time I started traveling to Japan a few years ago. As tournaments happen and careers progress, it gets really addicting to follow both.
