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.
