wow, great final match by the two yokozuna. although it was pretty much over when hakuho got his lethal left hand outside grip, harumafuji did well to defend and it was pretty tense.
great job by aoiyama as well to keep the yusho up for grabs until the final match. great tournament for him.
not such a great debut for takayasu but it's not unusual to have a poor record in an ozeki debut tournament. the other two ozeki though, will both be kadoban next tournament so that could lead to another high-profile demotion.
ura has also been fantastic. i thought he would really struggle to find success in the top division but although he picked up a losing record, he was very high in the ranks and for such a young guy this kind of experience will help him improve a lot.
