On May 8, those Sumo guys are coming back. Am counting the days.

I watched sumo wrestling once and loved it! Much more civilized than boxing

Thanks for the reminder @Flatbush!

@KBEANS and @qbetzforreal - Are you two in? The Summer Basho is May 8 - 22, from Tokyo.

A lot of my favorites are returning, especially Tobizaru! I wasn't able to watch much of the Spring Basho, but this time of year might be a little easier for me - I hope! 

Broadcast here on NHK.

I am anxious to see if Yakazuna, Terunofuji, is returning.  He could not finish the last basho because of knee pain. At least that is what I remember was the problem. He has worked so hard to achieve that highest distinction.

Yes, we get it on that channel too.

@beach-mom- Thanks for the alert.  I'll try to remember to tune in. Wakatakakage is moving up. Terunofuji didn't do well in March and had to drop out.  Hope he's back.

My provider doesn't carry NHK. I usually watch highlights on the internet. I can never seem to catch any live action.  My son told me to download the app, so I will try that. Thanks for the reminders @beach-mom @Flatbush
