The German sports magazine "Sportschau" published a video about Aonishiki in the YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxSEDAlhN3Y Very happy seeing him doing it to Juryo. He's skilled and has a low center of gravity with an excellent balance, but to be succesful as a sekitori he needs to bulk up; with only 125kg he could overwhelmed phisically by larger opponents. At least 135, better 140 for his type of sumo.

To match the performance of his opponent - who did this at his dad's danpatsushiki - Kotozakura performed a (weak) Koto-Bauer. https://x.com/sumokyokai/status/1841707992129143213 o oo o the pros o oo Else he again didn't do bouts, only butsukari again, for low ranks, Kotoshoho and Hoshoryu - the many kyujo rikishi make him think about his own new injury from last jungyo o o Takayasu did butsukari service for Onosato o more: o Shodai o jinku team o Itabanzuke for Kanazawa by Kimura Kazuma, Shikimori Kazuki helps for the torikumi sheets.

Just inside the top ten, since 2001: 2022 Haru 10.18% 2023 Aki 9.96% 2023 Haru 9.71% 2018 Haru 9.68% 2019 Haru 9.67% 2022 Kyushu 9.47% 2021 Kyushu 9.33% 2023 Natsu 9.20% 2023 Hatsu 8.99% 2024 Aki 8.92% As you might guess from that, the average % for hatakikomi is higher these days. In the first 30 basho of this kimarite era it was 6.47%, in the last 30 basho it is 8.57%.

2 more kyujo - it is high time to abolish the jungyo as a whole, rikishi go there wrecked from the basho and can't recuperate till the next. It should be replaced by joint training camps of about 3 heya, who stay at one location for a longer time and perform tournaments every other day. The jungyo is traditionally a big income source for the yakuza, as a result at every location now a pledge to keep them out is obligatory. Now large entertainment companies earn the money from the jungyo - and the NSK always has their share. Today Wakatakakage and Atamifuji joined the army of the wrecked. Wakatakakage has an inflammation at his old injury, the right knee, where he had surgery in April last year. 4 weeks treatment and rehab needed o Atamifuji injured his hip joint on the first day of the jungyo o Takanosho replaced him in the yokozuna dohyo-iri - 3 of 4 Isegahama maegashira are kyujo o

Asashosakari replied to Kintamayama's topic in Ozumo Discussions
For some reason the Kyokai's oyakata duties page still hasn't been updated with the three newly minted oyakata, while the simple members listing was already refreshed at least a week ago. I'm only mentioning that because, in addition to Takakeisho (with special iin taigu toshiyori positioning as customary for recently retired Y/O), Myogiryu and Aoiyama getting added, the update also changed the position of Onoe-oyakata (ex-Hamanoshima) in the list; by analogy to the duties list order it would appear that he has taken up a role in the jungyo department. He previously only held the default assignment to the guidance department that all stablemasters have. I'm not entirely sure if anybody else has left the jungyo team in turn. -
The surface doesn't look too different from what Wimbledon's does after a week and a half of action.

Bit late but here are the kimarite statistics for the 2024 Aki basho. Oshidashi accounted for 28.37% of all bouts here, the second-highest percentage in the current (2001-present) kimarite era, behind only the 28.97% registered in the 2021 Aki basho. Only one kimarite made its first appearance of the year in this basho, and a non-kimarite at that, Dewanoryu's fumidashi win against Tochitaikai on Day 3. Kimarite from kettei-sen bouts are not included in the statistics.

Day 2 Sagamihara, Kanagawa - pref. of Tomokaze and Shonannomi, but both were not there - unreported kyujo apparently, Tomokaze is juryo and would only be there for this location o instead Nishikigi, Shodai and Wakatakakage in the talk corner o Wakatakakage with jungyo chief Sakaigawa o Hoshoryu was 3-0 with each Nishikigi and Daieisho and then 2-0 with Hiradoumi. He is not in bad shape and kept the 7kg he gained after Natsu, but is still in the process of getting used to this weight: "only a bit longer" oooo o o o o o o Hiradoumi did 8 bouts in all o Bushozan and Shishi got butsukari sessions from Kotozakura, who apparently still doesn't do bouts ooo

Part of me wishes they would give it to him on twelve because he was obviously struggling with injury and back-to-back 12-3s, especially nowadays when even 13 wins is pretty unusual, should be evidence he's back in form. But the other part of me wants him to take the opportunity by the neck, rip off 35 wins across September-November-January, and leave no doubt. And I'm not sure which part is bigger.

Of course, there was at least one other train like that with rikshi in two years they will maybe have an updated version with the top 4 sekitori then - and Onosato with oicho
-
I haven't seen a Rikishi's picture on an actual train. Is that a regular train? I probably would be confused when I was going to board a train an get the fierce look of an actual Rikishi. In the confusion, I would even be tempted to shout ‘Hakkeyo’ (certainly not).

As a spontaneous suggestion: a new subcategory beside Honbasho talk and Ozumo discussions with "Jungyo and training" would be the perfect solution. I would agree, my actual reading would not change much but for the search for old threads it would be clearer.

As guessed during the basho, Oho had indeed an orbital bone fracture from the bout against Abi and will have surgery this week.

Needless to say that'd have been considered insane in any western contact sport nowadays. Ozumo certainly is its own beast in many aspects.

Now for his kyujo at last at the Aki jungyo, the shisho revealed that Oho had indeed an orbital bone fracture from the bout against Abi and will have surgery this week. He got Abi's head 2, 3 times against his face. "For a while, he can't do sumo" - for quite a while he did nonetheless o
