kuroimori 1,634 Posted July 22, 2016 Could I trouble someone to summarize the mono-ii announcement in this one? Kinda curious on what grounds they decided on the torinaoshi. I think he tried to explain that one guy's foot turned so that it's upper side (what is this part called in english? instep?) touched the dohyo at the same time when the other guy was flying out of the dohyo.

That's the thing I was looking for, except I thought the top of his foot was in the clay long before he managed to twist down his opponent... Maybe some kinda-sorta-shinitai benefit towards the attacker? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kuroimori 1,634 Posted July 22, 2016 Makushita Yusho Update: lower Makushita prevailed over upper Makushita as Ms44w Ryusei toppled ms8w Yamaguchi to take the Makushita Yusho. Ryusei's highest banzuke position so far was Makushita 35 so he will be catapulted to a new career high banzuke position at the Aki 2016 basho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taresu 38 Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Does anyone knows how the Yokozunae's dohyo-iri rules are?Like why Kaisei and Takarafuji are always the sword holders and this kind of stuff? it is related to rank? Edited July 22, 2016 by taresu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atenzan 1,074 Posted July 22, 2016 Does anyone knows how the Yokozunae's dohyo-iri rules are?Like why Kaisei and Takarafuji are always the sword holders and this kind of stuff? it is related to rank? The sword-bearer (tachimochi; not to be confused with Moti-tachi, which refers to an Israeli band) and dew-sweeper (tsuyuharai) are chosen at the behest of the yokozuna, but it is expected that they will be from the same heya, or at least ichimon, as the yokozuna. The same-ichimon guideline can be fulfilled pretty much at all times, but the same-heya one cannot, as both the tachimochi and the tsuyuharai should be ranked in makuuchi but below ozeki. However, there can be ozeki assistants at a yokozuna's very first dohyo-iri. The tachimochi is always higher-up than the tsuyuharai on the banzuke. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kuroimori 1,634 Posted July 22, 2016 Makushita Yusho winner Ryusei is spotting a nice beard! first time to see this (sideburns excluded) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asojima 2,873 Posted July 22, 2016 Does anyone knows how the Yokozunae's dohyo-iri rules are?Like why Kaisei and Takarafuji are always the sword holders and this kind of stuff? it is related to rank? The sword-bearer and the dew sweeper are normally makuuchi selected from the yokozuna's own heya/ichimon. I believe the function they perform is a mutual consent option among the participants. If the yokozuna is scheduled to fight one of his regular attendants, a substitute is used for that day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
