[sumo] [spoiler ]Asa wants to stay

[Moti <sumo@dichne.com>]

Asashouryuu expressed his wish to stay in Sumo till he reached 40. If 
that happens, he would be the first over-40 Yokozuna since  Tachiyama, 
who retired in January of 1918.
"After all, I do love Sumo. I'd like to do this for a long time. I'd 
like to continue till I'm 40. My father, who was a "Sekiwake" in 
Mongolian wrestling, reached his peak at the age of 36,", he explained. 
There are always rumours surrounding him regarding his going on to other 
martial arts like K1 and Pride, but it seems he wants to establish a lot 
of records in Sumo. His idol Chiyonofuji had his 53 game winning streak 
at the age of 33.  "I am already much stronger than I was last year", he 
added. He intends to peak after his 30th birthday, it seems.
