Treblemaker 254 Posted November 22, 2013 These guys are slipping and sliding so much it's like they've set up shop on the sawdust floor of an old synagogue. Watch the footwork today. Some of these guys are actually sliding backwards as they're being pushed to the edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of these guys are actually sliding backwards as they're being pushed to the edge. It's almost as if they'd trained for it, like there was some sort of thing they did in practice that prepared them for that... ;-) My curiousity is going to have to make me expose my ignorance, (again!) Usually i'd keep quiet and pretend i understand but i don't have a clue and i really want to know! What's going on? :) Edited November 22, 2013 by Bugman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The clay used in Nagoya and Kyushu is much more slippery than that used in Tokyo. The rikishi have footing problems in both of these. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
