Flipping through channels and come across the 2012 spring sumo tournament on NHK. I always liked the sumo wrestler from Estonia, Baruto, ever since he won the New year's sumo tournament. Baruto was hoping to get promoted to Yokozuna ranking, but did poorly at this tournament. I guess he stays as ozeki ranking.

The championship was won today by the wrestler from Mongolia, Yokozuna Hakuho Sho. The deciding match was awesome. It looked like the opponent of Hakuho Sho was done for when he was at the edge of the ring and about to be pushed off. Bent backwards and about to fall back, he picks up Hakuho Sho (340+ lbs) and uses him as a counterweight. He gets back into the ring, but eventually loses to Hakuho.

I don't really follow sumo, but find it intriguing nonetheless.
