it just finished. Quick summary. Terunofuji looked good. Takakeisho didn’t. 
Kiribayama is making ozeki most likely.

One of the YDC members was wearing neon green sneakers but you’ll have to decide for yourself who that was.

Our friend John Gunning is taking a break from social media : r/Sumo (reddit.com)

I’m taking a three year break from social media to focus on some real world projects that need my full attention. All these accounts will remain active so if anyone needs to contact me they can send a private message as normal. See you in 2024

Back more or less. Some projects wrapped up quicker than expected and others fell at the planning stage. Combined it's meant that I actually have the kind of time to post and read that I didn't expect until next year.

It seems to be the same place where the NSK degeiko was held during late Corona times.

When they opened it up to the public it was. When it's just media, YDC, and kankesha, it's held in the sumo school.
