Takeo: Did you watch the sumo match on TV yesterday?
Ken: Yes. I am really interested in sumo now. I like it better than sports like baseball and soccer. My favorite sumo wrestler is Kotooshu. He is very strong.
Takeo: I like Asashoryu. He is very strong, too.
Ken: He sure is. I heard that he is the first sumo wrestler to win six tournaments* in one year.
Takeo: Yes, he is. Did you hear that Kotooshu has been promoted* to ozeki? He is the first person from Europe to get to such a high rank.*
Ken: Yes. That's great. Ozeki is the second highest rank* in sumo, isn't it? I think that people in Bulgaria* where Kotooshu comes from must be very pleased, too.
