Re: comedy central-Eurosport sumo "coverage"-total nonsense and waste of time

[Achim Pawelczyk <achimp@herten.de>]

Just to give a tiny credit to Eurosport: the German commentator (also from
judo background)
has learned a lot in the last years and this time it was real fun watching
the basho with him talking.
Usually I couldn't stand more than one day, but he has slowly but steady
developed a sense for sumo.
And he is working on his pronounciation, only Ki-Oku-Shuzaan (Kyokushuuzan)
is still not changing.
A bright outlook for the commentary of the world championships next year.

As I enjoyed myself, I completely forgot to take a hear at the English
audio channel,
although I would have liked to have a taste of it (you now how good it feels, 
to think how much better you are in comparison to the guys who do it in
public).

Akinomaki - have to finish my banzuke prediction, to send it ready for
Christmas (though Kintamayama is not in for that festivity)
