After the spectator-free silent March tournament followed by the cancelled May event, Grand Sumo returns on the 19th of July in Tokyo with limited spectator numbers.
Grand Sumo Highlights are available daily from Sunday 19th July on NHK World Japan.
Daily Highlights, all times BST:
1730 with repeats at 2330, 0530 & 0930.
Grand Sumo will be live:
Sunday 19th July 0910am
Sunday 26th July 0910am
Sunday 2nd August 0830am
I recommend starting with the highlights, the live shows can be a bit slow going for non dedicated fans.
NHK World Japan HD is available FTA in English:
28e 11225V 23000 2/3 Europe beam
13e 11373H 27500 3/4
19.2e 11229V 22000 2/3
Yokozuna Hakuho will be aiming for an unprecedented 45th championship victory, with fellow Mongolian Yokozuna Kakuryu hot on his heels. Japan's Asanoyama will be making his debut at the second highest rank of Ozeki, with fellow Ozeki Takakeisho requiring a minimum of eight victories to maintain his rank.
The closest to home wrestler in the top division is the Georgian Tochinoshin, whose chronic knee injuries have seen him drop to the lower end of the top division, where he will require eight wins to prevent him dropping to the 2nd division.
