Great day of action. My friend Ura put up a great fight and put together excellent heads up sumo. I'm glad he went that approach as opposed to going for a leg pick.

loving ankles loving up my gimmick TAKA team. I'd regretfully like to trade TAKAkeisho for the inferiorly-named Terunofuji or Shodai, in that order, like literally everyone else.

Don't want to feel left out on all this trading action so requesting trade of Chiyonokuni for Abi or Myogiryu or Tobizaru in that order of preference.

Holding on to Wakatakakage for now. Telling myself he'll probably have a much easier second half of the basho. There'll be a fun match at the top of Makushita tonight: Ryuden is fighting Atamifuji, Terunofuji's 19 year old stablemate with a 38-6 record and two lower division yusho. He beat Yago pretty easily on day 2 when they brought him up for a juryo match; it'll be interesting to see how he does against a maegashira-level opponent.

Looking up what happened to Ryuden and Yago led me to seeing that my man Akiseyama is fighting again. Working his way back up the Makushita ranks.

Shiroc posted:Takakeisho needs to find some way to better balance his conditioning and power. I still say that he's just too heavy. Going by sumodb, he was 149kg(329lbs) for his last yusho, which was the playoff win over Teru back in November 2020. For this basho, sumodb has him at 183kg(403lbs) and he just can't carry that kind of weight. He looks gassed out just walking around.

Footage of Shodai's post bout interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhvIISDoarU Ura is clearly still not feeling right. Guy needs to sit out.

His body language and expressions look all hosed up. He's pushing through stuff he shouldn't. Losing balance the way he did against Terunofuji was weird. He might be able to grit out but he was clearly concussed and that injuries like that still don't give a way to sit out for his health without losing ranks is a big problem in sumo.

Are leg trips forbidden? I'm sure I've seen people wrap their knee around their opponent's leg. I assumed trips weren't more common because its a risky tactic.

They should be illegal when your opponent is Takayasu Actually most things should be illegal to do to that doughy furball.

There’s a bunch of leg-tripping techniques, but as you said, they are rare since you’re pretty much hosed if it doesn’t work. NHK guide to leg trips: https://youtu.be/8iZHw4XwNZU

Just realized that Mitakeumi has a chance of finally getting Ozeki if he keeps having a really good tourney. 13 wins should definitely get it, and maybe 12.

Shodai gears up to get his 8th win on the 14th day just to deny Mitakeumi getting to the ozeki bar.

Mitakeumi is actually threatening an ozeki promotion and I wanna see it. Between him and Shodai we'll have the Goeido and Kaio of the 2020s: 2 kadoban a year, scoring either 8-7, 9-6, or 7-8 for a decade. Let's go!Lid posted:Did a google and Abi wouldn't even break the record for lowest ranked zensho yusho. This guy owns like hell holy poo poo. Oh right, everyone got Shodai.

Some really great bouts today and then also some really lame ones. Bushozan vs. Kaisei deserves a nomination for unintentional comedy in combat sports because lol. I'm glad Kaisei had the presence of mind to try and keep from falling directly on Bushozan's neck
