The news of elections in the Sumo Association did not attract a great deal
of interest, it seems. If I may have a question for Masumi Abe or Doreen
Simmons or anybody else who knows anything about this: in (the near) future
should we expect some noticeable changes in sumo with the new leadership of
the Sumo Association ? And what could these changes mean - if any ?
Thanks a lot,
