Doitsuyama 1,259 Posted September 21, 2009 Kakuryu lost to Kotomitsuki in a bout between two rikishi at one loss, but otherwise the yusho contenders all won today. The two yokozuna and the two Sadogatake-beya ozeki thus still are at zero (Asashoryu) and one loss, with Baruto at 7-2 being the only notable pursuer. Ozeki Kaio is 6-3 now with the win against Miyabiyama, which was his 964th career win, giving him a tie with Oshio for second place in the all-time career win rankings; Chiyonofuji of course still leads by 81 more wins, but just getting to 1000 wins would be a huge milestone if he makes it that far. Futeno, Tamaasuka and Tochinonada lost today and emerged as the rikishi in biggest danger of losing their makuuchi places. Tochinonada of course is another makuuchi stalwart, having 74 makuuchi basho already, and ranked 38th all-time in makuuchi wins (35th with two more wins), trailing only Kaio, Chiyotaikai, Asashoryu (who overtook Akebono with his win today) and Tosanoumi. Juryo leader Toyozakura lost to veteran Kaiho and must share the lead with Okinoumi again. Tamawashi also takes a share of the lead with his sixth consecutive win, and Yamaotoyama and Sakaizawa are just one win back.

Oshirokita 198 Posted September 21, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks Tamaasuka got robbed in his match? It seemed clear that Kakizoe stepped out with his left foot well before Tamaasuka was pushed out of the dohyo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenryK 38 Posted September 21, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks Tamaasuka got robbed in his match? It seemed clear that Kakizoe stepped out with his left foot well before Tamaasuka was pushed out of the dohyo. Well that's the trouble with the dead-body rule. There have been serveral decisions going one or the other way this basho without a clear pattern. I would call mono-ii more often in these cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 47,191 Posted September 21, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks Tamaasuka got robbed in his match? It seemed clear that Kakizoe stepped out with his left foot well before Tamaasuka was pushed out of the dohyo. His foot was out clearly and without question long before he pushed Tamaasuka out. The shinpan screwed up, should have been a monoii. Nothing to do with dead body, they simply missed it. The replay (only one..) showed it clearly, the announcers acknowledged the screw-up. Mistakes happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yokotanoharry 1 Posted September 21, 2009 Kakizoe's bad, but not the worst call. Hokutoriki's right foot was flat out, and almost dragged left one before he got Futeno back across the ring. Shimpai must have been dozing, as was Ross misscalling Kokkai winner several times before correcting himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asojima 2,874 Posted September 21, 2009 Kakizoe's bad, but not the worst call. Hokutoriki's right foot was flat out, and almost dragged left one before he got Futeno back across the ring. Shimpai must have been dozing, as was Ross misscalling Kokkai winner several times before correcting himself. Good catch on Hokey Rick. I did a frame by frame replay on my TVJapan capture. His whole right foot was clearly out, down flat on the sand and, what's worse, it was done right in front of two shimpans and the gyoji. :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 47,191 Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) And the phone calls to the Kyokai offices came pouring in yet again. "I was watching TV and Hokutouriki'/Kakizoe's foot went out first", was the gist of the annoyed viewers' complaints. "It certainly is a sensitive affair, but we shinpan thought both matches were gumbaidori (as the gyoji judged). We were given no indication to the contrary from the video booth either", said Judge Takasago. Edited September 22, 2009 by Kintamayama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
