Seregost

Thought he entered Sandanme tsukedashi

He did one in his bout against Takarafuji on day 10th. But now I'm not sure what is henka or not anymore...

I don't like dame-oshi, but can understand the one Oshoma did to Akua. The Tatsunami guy tried to blow his teeth up too many times today.

I remember those four kakenage, and was an outstanding thing. But at some point it was too evident and too expected for the rest of the wrestlers, and they countered it easily.

I miss Aqua's kakenage, but I guess he finally found out that straightforward sumo with less shenanigans works better for him

Forgot that one. Really an outstanding tawara day.

Btw, it's the call in the Tochimusashi-Kaisho bout correct? Of course Kasugano's man left hand is doing uwatenage, but because he's grabbing Kaisho's knee with the other hand, I thought the kimarite would be different.

It seems the Bolshoi theater ballet has been in Fukuoka's dohyo today. Hiradoumi, Terutsuyoshi and Ryuden, and Tokushoryu in juryo, all danced beautifully over the tawara. The funny thing is all of them lost anyways.

I thought tokkurinage first time. But, because I don't know what a gasshohineri is (first time I see it), no idea

Me neither. I guess it implies somehow the dead body rule, but no idea. After 6 days, I think we had enough bouts to do a bit of talk. Some good sumo today, including, as commented above, that last second kotenage that Mitoryu pulled, and the lively combat between Okinoumi and Azumaryu, two vets that still had something left in the tank. No idea where's Ura's mind this days, but his two meters approach from the shikiri sen it's not working anymore, at least when you combine it with nothing else. Wakatakakage with not the best record, but fighting well, and still pointing at himself as the next ozeki hope, in my opinion. Hoshoryu is doing great, too, fast, serious, and pulling (intentionally or not) some great techniques, like that beautiful kawazugake on day 5th. Mitakeumi looking strong and calm enough to regain his Ozeki rank, although is too soon to tell. Shoday more awake than usual in the first week, could mantain his Ozekiness again, and Takakeisho will get his own kachikosi easily, but not so sure he will fight for the Emperor's Cup. Tamawashi maybe celebrated in excess his Aki yusho, or just don't want to force himself too much at his age, no idea. And to end this comment, my favourite Takayasu, once again fighting well, and having fought already the top guys from the banzuke, with just one loss handled by his nemesis Shodai. The problem may be, again, his "not programmed" losses again folks he should dominate. So let's see how he manages this time.

Chiyosoma, don't remember his lucky opponent...

Native Spanish (castellano), not the most terrible English (pretty bad, tough), and some German bc my master degree was there. Sadly, thd latter is vanishing fast

Agree with that. Of course quality and experience matters, but sumo is not tennis or basketball. You can be much better than everyone else, and still you can slip off and lost in a second. Everybody is vulnerable fighting, and one well timed tsukiotoshi or whatever can bring anyone down (ask Tokushoryu).

Congratulations to Tamawashi! I feel really sad for my favourite rikishi, Takayasu (again), but Tamawashi has fought better the whole tournament, and it's impressive how dominant he can be at almost 38 yo. It looks he might cash those 7 kinboshi for many years. And Takayasu, like he said himself, will try again in Kyushu, no injury-covid-whatever withstanding. Nice to see the Onami brothers doing well, they are for sure the future or maybe the present (even Wakatakamoto got his kk this time, would be so nice if he gets some kg and sekitorihood, in this order). And about the O and Y, plagued with physical and mental injuries, cannot say much. I hope Shodai loses his rank and has time to reset his brain, and Mitakeumi can get his 10 next basho. Terunofuji, well, we all know he doesn't have so much time left. He has been brilliant anyway, everything he gets from now is just more... cherries on top of the cake, is said?

Don't really get what you mean... Why is JSA making Hoshoryu look like whatever?
