Videos-Kyushu Basho 2022 - Days 1-15

Recommended Posts

I would have included "a blast from the past" video of that famous "did the heal touch the ground outside bales" from years past right after Tochinoshin's bout on day 1. I am surprised that there is no discussion about it as there was that time. There were articles, frame by frame analysis, evidences presented supporting the anti-foreigner/Mongolian conspiracy  etc. Now the things have become much more milder. Probably we have become a bunch of softies.

A lot of problems and cobbling today as the first half was not to be broadcast in English- I somehow managed it, but it was like the old days today. Please be patient before cursing. Then, you may curse loudly and proudly.

Day 7 :

I love these half-time classics. I really hope we get to see Kotoshogiku and Kisenosato in old boy sumo one day.

The shimpan from the day 9 blast from the past is Minatogawa isn't he? I wondered who he is and searched for myself, but I'm not sure if it's correct.

Sorry to enter in on your unblemished topic, but I thought I just have to share something about today's video from Chris. 

I know many of you warned about speculation, and of course he speculates. But now I've seen him doing something I really hate: He's lying to his audience to drum up a fake narrative. 

Surely someone who has been watching lower-division sumo as long as he has must know that Makushita pairings are done based on record. However, in this video and a previous one he chose to say that Shiden vs Asanoyama would be an appropriate finale (when they clearly cannot fight each other) and then suggested the NSK was favouring Asanoyama somehow by not giving him the imagined bout with Shiden. What utter tripe.

I still generally like Chris' coverage but there's just no excuse for such an intentional lie.

Again, sorry for coming into your thread just to complain about someone else. But it is the video thread for this basho, right?
