Question and more opinions

[Frederik Verschueren <frederikv@village.uunet.be>]

Hi everyone,

I decided to write some more for the Mailing List.
So here I am.

I have to make a paper for School and I decided to choose
Sumo wrestling as my subject.
To have as many different topic as possible I would like
to ask you all some questions.

Does anyone know if Sumo Wrestlers are important
for advertising.  Do they act in commercials  ?
I heard Konishiki did.
I once saw a commercial with him.
It was on NBC just before he talked with Jay Leno.
It was something with phone books.
If anyone knows more about this please write me an e-mail.
Are there other rikishi who act in commercials.
And of course, are there who performed in a movie.
I think there aren't.
Here in Belgium I saw that the French car builder Citroën used
a Sumo Wrestler in his advertisement.

And now a bit more about last basho :

I will start with Terao.  He let us all see that he still isn't too old
to do Sumo.  He even reached a 9-6 record.
That's very good considering his age.
I think he will remain in Makuuchi for at least on more year.
Maybe even more.

That's it but I will send another e-mail later.

See you,

Frederik
