Chiyotairyu and Hiradoumi

First, there is sumo news to share about Keisei, Kakuryu, and the next tournament. Then we focus on Hiradoumi (a new guy in the top ranks) and Chiyotairyu (not a new guy in the top ranks). They have surprisingly different stories even though they both starting sumo training in their elementary years. Guess which one has the nickname "Getz." Oops. We talk a lot about how Hiradoumi is only 5'8" in this episode, but he's 5.8 feet, which means he's 5'10"ish. Geez. Centimeter conversions are hard. 0 News 9:00 Hiradoumi 20:00 Chiyotairyu More about Sumo Kaboom and our BINGO game: www.sumokaboom.com Twitter @SumoKaboom Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sumokaboom/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SumoKaboom/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/SumoKaboomPodcast Check out our ever-changing Sumo Kaboom merch at Red Bubble: SumoKaboom.redbubble.com If you'd like to buy us a mawashi or support us monthly, you can sweeten the pot here: https://ko-fi.com/sumokaboom There's no way we could do this without you, so thank you!
