kuroimori 1,634 Posted February 9, 2014 Some thoughts on Fuji TV's broadcast of the 38th Nihon Ozumo Tournament: - Compared to NHK's common honbasho broadcast, there were quite a lot of commercial breaks (mainly for pharmaceuticals) - The Takanoiwa vs. Tochinowaka match, a long and - judging from the audio - also very entertaining bout was completely missed, the camera was fixed on the commentators talking about something else. The bout ended with a mono-ii and tori-naoshi, the cameras returned for the tori-naoshi match. - no replays of the missed match were shown - no mention of the Juryo matches at all, not even from the final match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 39,797 Posted February 9, 2014 2.5 million yen yusho money for Aoiyama – several additional prizes. Many kensho as well. Kanto-sho: Toyohibiki. Juryo (3-way play-off tomoe-sen with the winners of 3 blocks) was won by Terunofuji, against Sokokurai and Wakakoyu. http://sankei.jp.msn.com/sports/news/140209/mrt14020919330005-n1.htm Kotooshu had his revenge on Endo http://sankei.jp.msn.com/sports/news/140209/mrt14020919300002-n1.htm but lost the final to his kohai fellow-countryman http://sankei.jp.msn.com/sports/news/140209/mrt14020919310004-n1.htmhttp://sankei.jp.msn.com/sports/photos/140209/mrt14020919300001-p1.htmhttp://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXNSSXKA0250_Z00C14A2000000/http://www.nikkansports.com/sports/sumo/news/f-sp-tp3-20140209-1255418.html 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuroimori 1,634 Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) 2.5 million yen yusho money for Aoiyama – several additional prizes. Many kensho as well. Aoiyama's path to glory: 1st round: Toyonoshima (according to the tournament schedule, didn't see this match on Fuji TV) 2nd round: Chiyotairyu Quarterfinal: Takayasu (who beat Kakuryu in his 1st round match) Semifinal: Toyohibiki (who started with wins against Aminishiki, Shotenro & Shohozan) Final: Kotooshu Both Hakuho & Kakuryu - winner and runner-up of the Hatsu 2014 basho, lost their 1st round matchup, with Hakuho "losing" interest against Sadanofuji... (since not every bout was shown either live or as replay, I would welcome it if someone could correct or confirm above info) Edited February 9, 2014 by kuroimori 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 39,797 Posted February 10, 2014 more videos from the tournament: 2 mono-ii for a possible falling down at the same time. 1. Aoiyama-Toyonoshima: many wrong explanations by Isegahama-oyakata (shinpan department top!): at first declaring gunbai-dori for Aoiyama (the gunbai had pointed to Toyonoshima), corrected to gunbai-dori for Toyonoshima (but Toyonoshima had fallen down first), the hall announcement called a tsuki-otoshi but was then stopped, Isegahama corrected to gunbai-sashi-chigae for Aoiyama, then the correct hall announcement with yori-taoshi for Aoiyama. 2. Tochinowaka-Takanoiwa: correct tori-naoshi call. Tamawashi-Goeido Takayasu-Kakuryu Sadanofuji-Hakuho Aoiyama-Kotooshu 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALAKTORN 346 Posted February 10, 2014 “1. Aoiyama-Toyonoshima: many wrong explanations by Isegahama-oyakata” Damn, that was hilarous. But also awkward to watch. Felt bad for Isegahama-oyakata… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubinhaad 11,546 Posted February 11, 2014 Fujiazuma was kyujo from this tournament due to a detached retina. He has already left hospital following an operation, but it isn't decided yet if he will be able to enter the Haru basho. A few pictures. A wintry scene outside the Kokugikan for the 38th Grand Sumo Tournament. The yusho trophy. Sekitori arrivals - Aminishiki, Toyonoshima and Osunaarashi. Juryo dohyo-iri. Tenkaiho and Chiyoo throw the salt ahead of their bout in the Juryo tournament. Sotairyu and Jokoryu prepare for their bout. Ikioi. In the all-Bulgarian Makuuchi final, Aoiyama forces out Kotooshu to win the tournament. Satonofuji performs the yumitori-shiki. The champion gives an interview. Toyohibiki receives his Kanto-sho award. And Aoiyama collects the trophy. (since not every bout was shown either live or as replay, I would welcome it if someone could correct or confirm above info) I can only offer the quarter and semi-final torikumi: Quarter finals: Tochinowaka defeated Kitataiki Kotooshu defeated Kaisei Toyohibiki defeated Shohozan Aoiyama defeated Takayasu Semi-finals: Kotooshu defeated Tochinowaka Aoiyama defeated Toyohibiki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
