Babanoshuzan to the rescue:

Sumo World - January 1997,  pages 17 & 18 "Women to Make Debut in Amateur
Sumo" by Katrina Watts (whom we all know and love from the bilingual
commentary).

Sumo World - March 1997. page 18 "Takushoku Dominates 1st Women's Sumo Meet" -
results of the first national championships.

Sorry, but I couldn't find anything subsequent to that.

A moment for me: Is the individual who likened women's sumo to a freak show
the same person who found it necessary to characterize Ms. Lewinsky with a
similarly mysoginistic comment?  

That's all.
