I was watching a bout earlier, before Juryo I think, where the little dude basically suplexed his much larger opponent out of the ring. That was pretty cool.

So uuuuuuh... Asanoyama is back in competition tomorrow. https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202307190000562.html quote:Asanoyama (29=Takasago), a former ozeki and the fourth highest-ranked wrestler in the east maegashira division, who had been absent since the 8th day, will rejoin the tournament on the 12th day to face Shozaru, the top-ranked wrestler in the west maegashira division.

He's not necessarily intai, but given his age it's not impossible he will be soon. One of the things I love about sumo is that there are weird little avenues for people like him, who topped out at Mk 55, to still be heralded as paragons. First of all, impressive to still be fighting at 46. Plus, he's been twirling the bow for 10 years, and looks great doing it. Also impressive that Isegahama has been able field yokozuna long enough for Satonofuji to do the ceremony for so long. I hope he can open a killer chanko restaurant when he finally retires.

Now I feel like a shitheel for gtfo the stadium as soon as the last bout hit the ground to beat the train rush. At least I hung out to watch him twirl on day one. NHK being super aggressive with Natto this basho so reminder he has a telegram channel where he posts the videos and also a discord of unknown quality, if you rely on. Atto exclusively like I do now. Won’t clutter this thread with external links unless someone can’t find it. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 10:14 on Jul 20, 2023 |

Exciting day 12: MMM Hokutofuji still looking strong. Hell yes! Hakuoho looked good but that landing on his taped-up shoulder can't be good. Really sad-looking henka attempt by Takayasu, but he's clearly hurting so I can't fault him for trying to find ways to go easy on his body right now. Also, who was the handsome western judge on the right?

Takayasu -- There is no way papa bear isn't playing hurt or something. I mean whatever THAT was today, it wasn't sumo. On the infinitely small chance that he's not actually hurt and he's just really up his own brain and forgot how to sumo then that's abysmally bad.
