SUMO - 2024 Aki Basho (Sept 8th - Sept 22th)

[Nova44]

He's had a few close calls, but it's all Onosato going into the last few days.

I'm hoping he finishes with a 13 - 2
He seems to really struggle with Hoshoryu, I'd like to see him adjust but the final stretch will be telling

jesus fuck that waka match. how the hell do you spin a huge dude like onosato while balancing on the edge of the ring.
fantastic stuff from WTK

highway robbery from Abi against Hoshoryu.

You just know uncle Asa is currently screaming at Hosh through the phone.

He's probably on his way to Japan to put hands on him.

I just wish Hoshoryu used this brand of sumo across all 15 days.
Onosato not

Ozeki battle hamster Takakeisho announced he will retire.

Damn Hosh dumped Kirishima hard. Gonna be weird when Onosato inevitably gets a new Shikona, unless it's Yokosato of course.

Glad losing Ozeki made him take his health more seriously.

Onosato totally lost today by touching the floor with his hand.

tbh I stopped watching sumo since so many of the guys I liked dropped to Juryo or retired, any new small wrestlers in the current crop?

Midorifuji is small and is a firecracker, very fun to watch, solid wrestler.

Onosato's got more yusho than all the active ozeki put together.
Kinda says it all.

Is this accurate? Ozeki this fast?

I thought your 33 wins had to come at sekiwake rank? Two tournaments ago Onosato was still at komusubi. I guess just being in sanyaku is enough?

Maybe trying to give him a rush?
Maybe because he has 2 Yuhso in 3 basho?

no, it's 33 while in sanyaku going towards ozeki. the rule you think about is the yokozuna promotion, when you HAVE to be ozeki and win 2 in a row (for most cases). it doesn't matter if you won 5 in a row before, you need to get two in a row at ozeki.
