[sumo] Ama (and Aminishiki)

[Angie]

Wow, how cool would it be if Ama could make ozeki!  Of
course, we have an awful lot of those right now; it
would be good if one of them would...oh, for
example...retire.

It seems to me that in the last few basho, Aminishiki
has really put on some weight and some steam.  He's
being really fun to watch these days!

As usual, thanks for the news!
