A couple of Christmases ago he appeared in an inflatable sumo outfit. Its endearing, really, and only quite embarrassing. — Pippa Middleton

It didn't own one of his paintings until 1946, when Gertrude Stein bequeathed that indomitable quasi-Cubistic picture of herself - a portrait of the writer as a sumo Buddha - to the Met, principally because she disliked the Museum of Modern Art. — Jerry Saltz
I had strong legs that would have made me a good sumo wrestler and I used that to my advantage, but my home runs were achieved by technique. — Sadaharu Oh

Television in the 1960s & 70s had just as much dross and the programmes were a lot more tediously patronising than they are now. Memory truncates occasional gems into a glittering skein of brilliance. More television, more channels means more good television and, of course, more bad. The same equation applies to publishing, film and, I expect, sumo wrestling. — A. A. Gill
