It say on the Wiki he passed in 2016 ? I’ve never seen Sumo live but found it quite interesting to watch when Eurosport began showing it in the early nineties if I remember right. I got the understanding there are quite long ritual performances before every bout and that they didn’t show on the TV otherwise one have had to sit all day watching ? But the bouts are very quick to finish. I like the simple ruleset of the fights.
....However the wrestlers lifestyle or eating habits can’t be the healthiest way, kidneys and liver must take a heavy toll. I read some wrestlers inject insulin to increase their appetite, kinda dangerous I think.
