Today, you’re going to be treated to a Sumo spectacular featuring the honorable and always gentlemanly, Tim Bissell. In our continued coverage of the 2024 Aki Basho, Tim takes you from where we left off a week ago, all the way through the final days of this tremendous tournament. We were delighted by tons of action, sensational technique and dare we say…flamboyance from the Big Boy Brigade.

As always, there was elite talent on display, with the winner having a near perfect run, going 13-2. It was a thriller, punctuated by two retirements, with one being a record-setter. And the bouts themselves? Glorious. It all gets discussed right here. For free. On the house. Complimentary. No charge. The Continental Breakfast of podcasts.

Please remember to check out the Sumo Stomp, where Tim tirelessly devotes himself to the art of Grand Sumo and all its rich tradition.
