	I agree with Abe_san completely.  I also saw the match in the
Bay Area on NHK News-in-English, and I thought it was a wonderful display
of persistence and determination.  Mainoumi's athleticism (as well as
that of Musoyama, who tried hard to keep up with him) was impressive to
watch.  I have not watched Sumo for very long, but I think this match
brought out the very best in the sport.
