Fukurou 534 Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Re: the Gunning-Mihara video It's stalling (repeatedly) for me at the 1:21 mark, and at 26 MB on the download. Not sure if it's me, or if there's something else going on. (what I heard is interesting, and it's nice to finally put voices to the names and faces) EDIT - OK, something changed. I tried both viewing from here and downloading from YT about 90 minutes after my original post, and everything's working ok (yay!)

max 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Regarding the Kaisei-Baruto bout on day 1, the aerial boundaries of the dohyo aren't completely clear to me. I don't think they're clear to the gyoji either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 16,996 Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Regarding the Kaisei-Baruto bout on day 1, the aerial boundaries of the dohyo aren't completely clear to me. I don't think they're clear to the gyoji either. If by aerial boundaries you mean extending the "plane of the dohyo" into the surrounding air, the answer is that there's no such rule; you can't lose by having your feet drop below that plane, only by actually touching either the sloped part of the dohyo or the ground outside. On the flipside, you can't win by jumping really high (or far) and hoping that your opponent touches down before you - if Rikishi A has clearly sent Rikishi B outside the dohyo and B no longer has any way to affect A's positioning, B is generally judged "dead body" and can no longer win even if he touches the ground later than A does.

Asojima 2,839 Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Regarding the Kaisei-Baruto bout on day 1, the aerial boundaries of the dohyo aren't completely clear to me. I don't think they're clear to the gyoji either. The question is whether Baruto stepped outside and touched with his right foot before he took the big step into the seats. The stream angle is ambiguous. The shimpan and gyoji have a different angle. This is the only way that Kaisei would get the win.

ronnie 221 Posted September 9, 2012 Why didn't Baruto himself not call for a monoii? Or is that lacking hinkaku? On the other hand, if he would stop being a one trick pony and start doing serious sumo, he wouldn't find himself in these dilemmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asojima 2,839 Posted September 9, 2012 Slow motion replays start at 3:40. Nothing ambiguous there. Bad Call! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirinoumi 11 Posted September 10, 2012 In twenty-plus years of watching sumo I've questioned a few calls, but that may be the first time I've seen absolutely conclusive evidence of a botched call in an official tournament. That's unfortunate for Baruto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bugman 377 Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Wow! are Takanoyama's bouts exciting or what! Ok it was a Henka, (or at least he didn't meet the tachi'ai properly) but from a thinner rikisihi i suppose it's more to be expected if not necessarily encouraged, what speed and strength! :-) When he doesn't get blasted out the ring i'm often left with my heart in my mouth watching his bouts.

Bugman 377 Posted September 10, 2012 Kyokutenho looks determined, another tournament win for him? :) Masunoyama, little-lungs, big heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryafuji 771 Posted September 10, 2012 Why didn't Baruto himself not call for a monoii? Or is that lacking hinkaku? Well it would be lacking hinkaku but it's also not allowed. Only the judges (or in theory the rikishi waiting for their match, although in practice it almost never happens) can call a monoii. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yubinhaad 10,787 Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Some great bouts today, the highlight being the back-and-forth nailbiter of Takayasu vs. Wakakoyu. Narrowly edging "one kick pony" into second place. (Applauding...) Edited September 10, 2012 by Yubinhaad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
