In a City A M exclusive story, it looks
0:02
like the Sumo could be back in London
0:05
>> Yeah, so it's no secret this past week
0:07
London Mayor Sadiq Khan's been in Asia
0:10
talking up London. The real kind of
0:11
intention of this meeting was to get the
0:13
Sumo back to London at least in 2030 and
0:16
talks are progressing extremely well to
0:18
get it back before then. Now, it was
0:20
over 30 years between the first and
0:21
second one. It looks like it could be
0:22
less than five between the second and
0:24
third. All at the Albert Hall. I mean,
0:26
you remember last time they came, it's
0:27
what they call a basho, the the grand
0:29
tournament. They had to reinforce the
0:31
toilets at the Albert Hall. They had to
0:32
get in 40 kilos of of rice every day
0:36
eating corn dogs in Buckingham Palace on
0:40
>> The guy in charge of the Sumo
0:40
Association won the tournament in the
0:42
90s. So, I wonder whether he's just got
0:44
this affiliation with the Royal Albert
0:46
Hall. Um and look, this is great for
0:47
London. It's another example of uh those
0:50
amazing sports that are in London that
0:52
people don't always talk about.
