Somehow they are still intent on moving forward with the basho tomorrow.

I heard on a podcast that the JSA is running out of money so theyā€™re going to roll the dice and hold the basho and hope no one dies from COVID this tourney. I dunno, seems like they ought to be able to ask for a grant from the government or something.

Mystery woman is back in attendance.

Four days in and the basho is already turned upside down. Takakeisho forgot to bring his legs with him to this tourney for his Yokozuna run. Looks like itā€™ll come down to either Daieisho or Akiseyamaā€“probably the latter.

This basho sucks. Unsubscribe.

Iā€™m finally okay with 'Keisho imploding and Daiesho inexplicably running away with it. I am not mad, in fact, Iā€™m actually laughing.

Watch now as Terunofuji curb stomps everyone left in his path on his way to a 11-4 yusho.

daieisho beat every sanyaku in this basho, just a sick performance

Almost happened, as he did stomp everyone in his path down the stretch, but Daiesho was not to be denied.

Now can we please get some Yokozuna and healthy Ozeki back so we can have a proper basho for once?

Iā€™m only just now learning about the giant macaron award that the ambassador of France gives out for some reason.

You gotta keep watching the yusho ceremony beyond the presentation of the Emperorā€™s Cup. Thereā€™s always intense speculation about what flavor itā€™ll be.

Yeah, I wish I could see all the closing ceremonies. Neither NHK nor the pirate sumo discord I follow shows them.

NHK in Japan usually goes at least until the macaron.

I only have access to it through their sumo highlights webpage, or at least if I donā€™t want to watch at 3AM or whatever.

Everyone talking about blockchain sports cards made me want to buy a few packs. Sure enough, I got my boy 勢!
