Katooshu 3,135 Posted July 17, 2022 Style wise, Fujiseiun is a bit like the makushita Endo. Really nice skills, though a bit lacking in power. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thorbjarn 214 Posted July 17, 2022 4 hours ago, Eikokurai said: Right, yeah, so they’re moving with the times. Sumo feels like China in the sense that the Covid policy is the same as it was in early 2020, with little adaptation for the new variants of less severity. I’m dealing with all this zero covid stuff in Shanghai these days, hence why it’s on my mind and I see some parallels. While it is true that Sumo can be a little behind, there may also be huge differences in accommodation both during and between tournaments to a lot of other sports. If cyclists stay in their own hotel room while being outside during the competition, it's different than guys hanging out in very close quarters indoors basically all the time during competition. I think, football / soccer is a horrible example. The idea of those in charge of most professional leagues was that they deserve privileges and rules that apply to society in general should not apply to clubs and players. In Germany the clubs of the top tiered leagues where very quickly trying to pressure politicians into allowing to resume play. And they succeeded almost as quickly.

Kaninoyama 1,694 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Wow, a lot to unpack there. Unfortunate because while the mawashi-tightening torinaoshi might have been justified, albeit ill-timed, Wakamotoharu completely lost the advantage he initially had.

Eikokurai 3,433 Posted July 17, 2022 Not all that unusual for a gyoji to halt a bout to tighten a mawashi, though that’s probably the longest I’ve ever seen for a position reset. Usually it’s just a pause while the rikishi remain in place and then a quick slap on the arse to get the bout back underway. Anyway, Teru wins and we have a whole bunch of guys back together all on 6-2. Teru has to be favourite now I guess. Shodai wins to go to 4-4 and the escape is looking back on.

Akinomaki 39,776 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Inosuke robbed Wakamotoharu, Terunofuji had enough time to recover and think of a counter. Inosuke stopped the bout while they were moving, a bigger miss than a sashichigae, IMO Edited July 17, 2022 by Akinomaki 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
