Jesus, some poor makushita guy has just torn his ACL or messed up his ankle or something, and the gyoji is just slowly rolling him out of the ring to clear space :smith:.

Thanks so much for this, I totally forgot about Karla Sumoist!

drat i watch live sumo for the first time in like half a year and turn it on just in time to see enho go down, valiant effort though

this twitch chat on karla's stream is the only way i know anything going on but it seems pretty good for a twitch chat, lotta trivia drops

12-3 Juryo yusho for Mitoryu, who's presumably debuting in Makuuchi next time around, after an insanely consistent career of taking four tourneys after he debuted to reach Juryo and then bobbling between J4 and J14 for three and a half freakin years

I wonder how far Hokuseiho can keep going. Would be pretty funny to end the era of Hakuho's dominance and just move right into the era of his protege beating everyone up.

Also, the macaron will obviously be green.

something that just hit me as hokuseiho received his award for the makushita yusho:


i know he's ethnically mongolian but japanese born and doesn't count against the normal one freigner per heya limit. if hakuho stays active could miyagino theoretically add a foreign wrestler now that hakuho has citizenship?

really glad that video evidence of hakuho exists so in 50 years time i don't have to try and explain how absurdly good he was without sounding like an insane old man exaggerating his generation's athletes in a desperate bid to stave off the fact that his generation is irrelevant and the world he knew is gone.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
