Articles from Sports Newspapaer

In Japan, we have a lot of newspapers(="shimbun") about sports.
They are called "sports shimbun)
In Tokyo aria, we have daily sports shimbun as follows,
Nikkan Sports(Nikkan)
Sports Nippon(Sponichi)
Hochi shimbun(Hochi)
Daily Sports(Daily)
Tokyo Chunichi Sports(Chunichi)

We can buy them station stand shop and convenience store in town and home delivery service.

During tournament,sports shimbuns report result and wrestlers comment and tactics analysis by commentators.

Our Baruto sometimes appears in sports shimbun with some illustration.

I don't like these illustrated Baruto but I have duty? to show you .....

Those illustrations are very cool, you could post more of them. It was very exciting tournament and it's pity Baruto had to stay behind in yusho race on day 12 (btw that's what second pic stands for). It was just very unfortunate, it looked like he slipped there and probably lost some of motivation to continue in a same fashion as he started. It would be almost impossible to beat Hakuho twice in one tournament. But still yokozuna is not unbeatable and I believe we will see a rise of new grand champion next year... Thank you Chuchai for sharing your emotions and interesting facts about bouts once again. See you next year on Hatsu Basho.
