A sad day for ozumo. I hope that he may be remembered by his peak performance and his persistence in the face of adversity.

The Tochinoshin's loss was result of good pushing sumo by Tamawashi. What a powerful push was the first one by Tamawashi after the tachiai! It dragged Tochi a few precious meters.

Is Kakuryu injuried in the end of this match? Incredible action in the ending of the basho.

Tochinoshin's destiny is in the Hakuho's hands now...

Hakuho is not going to be motivated in the same way that he could be if he had odds to win the tournament, but as a yokozuna he is at least motivated to demonstrate dominance (not weakness) in relation to the rival yokozuna (the only other yokozuna whose performance shows some menace to his dominance in the top division).

I totally agree. He has so much power right now.

Tochinoshin looks absolutely ozeki now.

Incredible day! Very exciting to watch. Endo was great.

What is the Ishiura's body fat percentage?

I'm very anxious to Tochinoschin vs Ichinojo bout in this tournament.

Tochinoshin looks very strong. Nice bout

Is it only a impression or had Tochinoshin attempted to change his favored style in this bout? I did not understand his strategy.

Ishiura was amazing in his last match. I hope that we are going to see more of this style. Ishiura is strong besides his short height.

I absolutely agree. Besides it, he definitely needs to put more mass for his frame. And it seems to me that Enho does not find his ultimate fighting style yet.

Abi was amazing in the first day. Unquestionably the most fighting spirit.
