Asojima 2,874 Posted July 24, 2009 The dohyo is in terrible shape for at least the first 6 makuuchi matches. Rikishi have been sliding all over the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asojima 2,874 Posted July 24, 2009 Baruto had an impressive win over Shotenro. He picked him up near the center of the ring and casually strolled him to the edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sekihiryu 51 Posted July 24, 2009 Asa pulls out a yaguranage (inner thigh throw) - This technique can be done from either an inside or outside grip. As the attacker pulls his opponent into him, he will drop his hips and place the outside of his knee against the defender's inner thigh. As the attacker starts the throwing motion with the hand on the same side of the leg touching the defender's thigh, he will drive that leg upwards. This, combined with the throwing motion of the attacker's hands, will force the defender over onto his side. wow the first one in the top div in 30 years!

Jokkamura 4 Posted July 24, 2009 Aminishiki was telegraphing his henka against Mickey from the getgo. Mickey was probably the only person surprised by it. Very obvious!

Washuyama 662 Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) I think Asa was trying to make a statement today. A little "Don't write me off to intai yet!!." Nishi, Who was Aobajo's opponent? Just curious.

Peterao 3 Posted July 24, 2009 Next basho Asa should try for a tsukaminage...looks like that hasn't been done in the top ranks in 55 years, although the waza-no-depato known as Orora has one to his credit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm particularly interested in "ushirohikimawashi"...sounds like the guy wins by giving his opponent a wedgie from behind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asojima 2,874 Posted July 24, 2009 It was mentioned today that Hakuho doing the dohyo-iri above the west shikiri sen is a homage to Futabayama. Interesting. I noticed that he was a bit offcenter this basho. I thought he was just getting a bit careless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
