おととい初めてお相撲を見に行きました。凄く面白かったです。当たり前なことなんですけど、生で見るのは全然違います。力士は本当に迫力ありますね。感動しました。初めてお相撲を見るタイミングはすごくよかったです。横綱の白鵬とこれから大関になる関脇把瑠都は二人とも１０−０、一回も負けていません。ものすごく盛り上がりましたが、結局横綱のほうは強かったです。写真は私の席から撮った把瑠都と白鵬です。

The day before yesterday I went to see Sumo live for the first time.  Sumo is at least 1500 years old and is a sport steeped in ritual and religious tradition.  It's also incredibly exciting to see live.  I have to admit that when I used to watch highlights on TV in Canada, I really didn't get it.  Now I think I may become a Sumo maniac.  Going to a live performance is really addictive!  I picked a great day to go, since the one Yokozuna, Hakuho, and his opponent at the level of Sekiwake, two levels down but a quickly rising star Baruto, faced off each with perfect records of 10-0 up.  Hakuho is Mongolian and he really looks almost invincible out there.  Baruto is Esthonian and just huge and really good.  Hakuho wonm, but Baruto is proving himself a real up and coming star.  Could he maybe become the first every white-skinned, blue-eyed Yokozuna?  That would be very exciting!  I am dying to go again!
