Akinomaki 39,768 Posted January 3 (edited) The 78th Saga 2024 kokutai kokuspo sumo events are in Genkai town, from Oct 6th-8th. Local mascot Komazou-kun did PR for it at the venue, published today. From now on it's called kokuspo - for kokumin sports taikai instead of kokumin taiku taikai like till last year and in English The Japan Games https://www.saga2024.com/en/ (maybe not for sumo though) o The town has put up a page with sumo trivia https://www.town.genkai.lg.jp/site/saga2024/list35.html The One-Year-Before PR event was on Nov. 5th, with 3 Naruto-beya rikishi and urakata at the local wanpaku tournament - Oshoma as mage making model (by Tokuo) and taiko by Kenta On 08/11/2023 at 00:09, Akinomaki said: on the 5th 3 rikishi were in Genkai town, Saga - close to their location Karatsu o https://www.town.genkai.lg.jp/soshiki/11/75510.html The heya has its Kyushu base there now, the oyakata declared that he will be at the kokuspo sumo event(s) - of course looking for new recruits. Edit: no sumo at all on the main Japan Games site https://www.saga2024.com/ and JapangamesTV site https://japangamestv.japan-sports.or.jp/saga/ Sumo is only on the Genkai site https://www.town.genkai.lg.jp/site/saga2024/ Edited January 4 by Akinomaki 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Japan Games TV / Kukospo Channel site has no Saga page any more, the kokuspo site has an English page now, without useful content so far https://www.saga2024.com/en/ Regarding the pose by the Tairadate sumo club for the interhigh - everybody does that as PR for the kokuspo and similar sports events https://www.saga2024.com/news/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katooshu 3,132 Posted 11 hours ago (edited) Yehor is huge but doesn't have the strength to match it. In his second match a small opponent went head to head with him and drove him out after a long battle, and in his third he was shoved to the ground by someone closer to his own size.

Akinomaki 39,768 Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Sd tsukedashi for the best 4, winner Maaru Fukuzaki from Kagoshima, runner-up Sakunosuke Takida (Tokyo), who beat Nishide in the qf https://kirokukensaku.net/5NS24/detail_20241007_24035020120.html 3rd Renta Ogawa(Kumamoto), 4th Chugo Saito (Saitama), who beat Turbold in the qf https://kirokukensaku.net/5NS24/detail_20241007_24035020110.html I don't know how to appreciate the now new commentator on the Kokuspo channel day 2 broadcast https://japangamestv.japan-sports.or.jp/kyougi/sumo/5782 - awful and noisy voice, often a nuisance, but the information are valuable, esp. for the name readings Edited 4 hours ago by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
