"Good things come to those who wait," said the Royal Albert Hall's chief executive, James Ainscough. "We've tried a number of times but various things have got in the way, not least Covid." This highlights the challenges faced in organizing the sumo tournament.
Ainscough emphasized, "the fact they've chosen to come back when they could have gone to any capital city around the world is an honour, particularly for us here at the Royal Albert Hall." This reflects the significance of hosting such an event.
He added, "Sumo isn't just a sport but is a cultural moment, has a great tradition and ritual attached to it, which makes it even more interesting." This underscores the cultural importance of sumo wrestling.
Describing the preparations for 1991, it was noted, "a strengthened stage had to be built to hold the wrestlers' weight, and specialist soil had to be imported to the UK." This illustrates the unique requirements of hosting the event.
