Akinomaki 40,833 Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Top 4 in the juniors are all from Tottori, of course Tottori won the team. Narita Rikido won it vs. Altangerel Sosorkhuu, 3rd Narimatsu Yunosuke, 4th Matsui Kanato, the 5th member was joint 5th Narita is 2nd dan and will be at the All Japan along with Takayama as the high school participants. Narimatsu and Matsui are shodan and Sosorkhuu has no dan grade yet. 4 of the 6 likely Mongolians made it to the individual final tournament, the one from Hokkaido was not among them. sumoforum.net/forums/topic/40500-hokkaido-high-school-sumo-club-with-mongolian-students/ Results day 2 https://kirokukensaku.net/5NS22/discipline_240_20221002.html a few pics so far from the team event - the results in the team preliminaries also decide who goes into the final tournament of the individuals, those who win all 3 bouts can go into the finals, the coach has to make the application. chanko for the athletes oo no pics from Tottori yet - Akita, Toyama o o Niigata, Saga, Tochigi o oo o o video of the start of day 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4odZuGbias Edited October 3, 2022 by Akinomaki 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katooshu 3,338 Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) It was a good event for Nippon Sports Science University students and alumni. Defending amateur yokozuna Daiki Nakamura repeats as Kokutai champ (the first being 3 years ago), beating his own NSSU coach Taisei Matsuzono in the final. Nakamura obliterated most of his opponents in both team and individual competition. Nakamura's NSSU teammate Ryoma Ishizaki was third, securing himself an SdTD like his brother started ozumo with. Question now: we know Nakamura has an Ms15TD secured from this event, but if the qualification eligibility is still 2 years, that means his Ms15TD as amateur yokozuna will still be in effect when he graduates as well. Does the amateur yokozuna + Kokutai combo qualify him for Ms10TD? Previously you had to win the All Japan Championship (which grants amateur yok status) + one of the other Ms15TD tournaments in the same year to obtain it, but that's also when qualifications were only good for 1 year. Niigata (made up of Nakamura and NSSU grads Taiyo Murayama and Hayato Miwa) won their 5th straight team title, beating Nagasaki in the finals. Teenaged corporate yokozuna Tetsuya Ochiai went 5-0 in team competition for Tottori, but appeared to injure himself in the team quarterfinals and withdrew from the individual tournament. Nihon University's best member, Naoya Kusano, lost in his first individual match representing Kumamoto, and unfortunately his strongest Nihon U teammates (Kawakami, Hanaoka) didn't even get spots in the event - one of the drawbacks of the Kokutai only having 3 competitors per team. _______ Ms15TD 1st: Daiki Nakamura (Nippon Sports Science University 4th year - representing Niigata) SdTD Qualifiers 2nd: Taisei Matsuzono (NSSU coach - representing Nagasaki) 3rd: Ryoma Ishizaki (NSSU 4th year - representing Kochi) 4th: Shion Fujisawa (Kinki University 4th year - representing Toyama) 5th: Taiki Mita (Kinki University 3rd year - representing Tochigi) Shun Ikeda (Kanazawa Gakuin University 3rd year - representing Ishikawa) Nozomi Nakashima (Nihon University coach - representing Tottori) Shigematsu (Okayama city hall staff -representing Okayama) Edited October 3, 2022 by Katooshu 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Previously you had to win the All Japan Championship (which grants amateur yok status) + one of the other Ms15TD tournaments in the same year to obtain it, but that's also when qualifications were only good for 1 year. The rule just requires winning the All Japan and one of the other tournaments, so he should have MSTD10 now. Probably he'll repeat the All Japan title this year and we'll never know. Edit: the papers report he has the MSTD10 http://www.sanspo.com/article/20221003-SUM3NRLSTJPBJOOCESTW473QUU/ Edited October 3, 2022 by Akinomaki 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
