The Sumo Thread

Two-thirds of the way through and far from going kyujo with is tail between his legs, Hoshoryu leads the way at 10–0, with Onosato trailing close behind. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Freight Train Aonishiki continues to steamroll his way to Ozeki-hood.

Should be a fun final few days.

wtf Ura, week one looked amazing, complete collapse

Down goes Hoshoryu, courtesy of Aonishiki who’s looking every bit the future Yokozuna himself, and the two Yokozunae are tied at the top with one loss apiece with three days left to go.

Another basho in the books and what a way to end: the first all-Yokozuna playoff in 16 years.

Onosato showing he’s the dominant man right now.

Aonishiki in position to become the next Ozeki with another good showing in November.

this is bullshit, NHK still hasn’t posted day 13 to their yootoob channel

The Nattosumo discord is a very good alternative if you want all the matches.

You may need a VPN and its all in Japanese, but try this:

Another favorite succumbs to the inevitable. A great long run though. Will continue on in sumo as an oyakata with the elder name Kiriyama.

It’s impossible that these are the same person–one year apart.
