I completely agree with all that Mathias said and I've already wrote to the
concerned people too. I don't know how many of us did the same, but I have
to say I was a bit surprised that such a bad news didn't brought quite any
reaction on this list, knowing how many of us depend on Eurosport to watch
their favourite sport...
Since it seems almost sure that at least the last basho won't be
broadcasted, I'll take profit of this mail to ask if their is still some CDs
of Kaio's second yusho available (can't find the URL...) ??
