Eurosport Coverage



I am certainly grateful for any Sumo Coverage here in Belgium - however, I also had a good laugh with our Eurosport coverage -  it was a Dutch commentary!  The commentator certainly was enthusiastic, does his best with the pronunciation but as they pronounce the J as a Y we have trouble from the get-go - Sumo from Yapan!  And then of course we have the dohjoh (closest I can come in type), Wakanoyo, etc, etc.  Anything's better than nothing and given that I can only understand snippets of what is actually said - I can't comment on the knowledge of the announcer but he sure gets an A+ for enthusiasm - and he tries his best!
