Grand Sumo Las Vegas was the most spectacular sumo event, to date, in America. About 120 members of professional sumo participated, including the 37 best rikishi, while over 25,000 people attended the three-day tournament. USA SUMO worked throughout 2005 promoting the event, including producing the preview event – Grand Sumo Open – in Los Angeles.
USA Sumo Director Andrew Freund joined Hawaiian super-star Konishiki as co-announcer of the three-day competition.
