Just going through some playlists this past week and watching a clip that stood out of Akinoshu vs Tomonohana. The latter loses his chonmage letting it all loose and wild. Looked like a relentless Raijin the thunder god! Haru 2000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNvei5se0sQ&feature=youtu.be

And here is that segment: https://youtu.be/cqggmxeq0OA

Wow! I didn't think that I was THAT bad at this. It has now become a coming of age step towards joining this lowly party that I can only experience on the sumoforum! I am humbled

It was a day of upsets. Starting from Maezumo with Taiho's grandson, Naya. Asashōryū's nephew and newly shikona'd, Hōshōryū 豊昇龍 First victories and a handshake of the two together for press The kesho mawashi worn by Taiho will be used by Naya for the shusse hirou Naya's family Taiho bout Moving forward...

Hokutofuji on the other hand carries away his 4th consecutive basho kinboshi win. 4 different Yokozuna defeats (Kakuryu, Harumafuji, Kisenosato, and now Hakuho) \ Y2e Kakuryu (3-0) tsukiotoshi M2e Yoshikaze (0-3) Today the intai press conference of Sotairyu.

Asachan filming morning keiko when one of the toe injuries occurred on the morning of shonichi https://youtu.be/amxLX2L1vQ0?list=PLj_5xaD5AfJBDSCCMos_H6q1MWBker_JB&t=68 From last year, Hakuho's orthopedic surgeon explains what happened to the right big toe (With English captions CC) https://youtu.be/lCxAfCs4M0g

Keep in mind this is a man that kept a severed tendon and ligament (right toe) for years without knowing and thinking that it was just his body becoming stiff with time. It would cause frequent dislocations because of the severed tendon yet he would just continue sumo by taping the area. He was without any kind of visible physical difficulty that even he was aware of. That was the only time I recall Hakuho withdrawing from a basho that started in 2015.

So now the reports say internal visceral disorder, the NHK broadcast stated diabetes. Really don't want to hear it get much worse than that if even that is possible http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/sumo/20180116-OHT1T50133.html

The left knee again, injury of the one that was operated on. Nikkan Sports A link to old thread

Late night broadcast from yesterday, Jan 13, of 追跡LIVE! Sports ウォッチャー with its special feature "Human Watcher" Starts with Aminishiki then the bulk of the program is of Naruto Beya, a lot of Torakio :) https://youtu.be/2cy0D7LUWEU?t=1

Toyohibiki with arrhythmia!? That sounds worrying :( been sick for a week, but recovering and may join later. https://this.kiji.is/324397675808343137

Just thought this was interesting. This picture banzuke for the upcoming basho with Inousuke pictured in the middle - now available online at shop.kokugikan Even with pending demotion/suspension I am guessing his name is on the itabanzuke as well?

A little of that exam with Naya getting "comfortable" at the heya on NStar https://youtu.be/4xhx-7k3J8w Tokyo Broadcasting Sys. has been brutal lately with video take downs so this one is unlisted.

Any video of sumo news seems to be overshadowed by the Inosuke-sekuhara-scandal, unfortunately. Link to the NHK site of this morning's keiko.

Lowest between M1-M2Hak (with 1 fusen), Kise, Goeido, TakayasuLosing to M5 at the lowest, maybe Sokokurai if he's able to climb back up (which I doubt he can go higher than M8, but thinking he is capable of winning against a sanyaku Mitakeumi)

Kitataiki, Aminishiki, Kakuryu, Kotoshogiku, Takekaze, Satoyama, and Toyonoshima by 2019 Hatsu

Still Ozeki 4 basho with ≥10 wins 5 basho KK
