Randomitsuki 2,768 Posted March 24 37 minutes ago, Torideyama said: My apologies to all for my many postings, but when you have to kill 3 hours in an airport, you have to occupy your time somehow. Down in Jonidan, Ryuo and Tochimaru are both tied at 7-0 going into day 15. Does the winner of the playoff get an extra banzuke push for May over what the loser gets, even though their official records are both 7-0? I always sucked at GTB because I don't know all of the ins and outs. No yusho push. http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Query.aspx?show_form=0&form1_rank=Jk&form1_wins=7&form1_losses=0&form1_year=2019&form1_month=7&form1_y=on&form1_yd=on 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 18,786 Posted March 24 Takerufuji is obviously the most affected by this sad turn of events, but I feel a bit sorry for Onosato, too. Can't make for a great frame of mind for the Hoshoryu match to know that a victory would (in all likelihood) give you your maiden yusho because of an incapacitated opponent.

Asashosakari 18,786 Posted March 24 @Yubinhaad Do you still track eighth bout appearances? I've been wondering if Moriurara is the rikishi who had to "wait" the longest for his first such appearance (either by age or basho count)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katooshu 3,135 Posted March 24 (edited) Takerufuji is competing on day 15. Takerufuji and Onosato both win technique + fighting spirit prizes, with the basho winner taking home outstanding performance as well. https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202403240000036.html Edited March 24 by Katooshu 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godango 956 Posted March 24 Very impressive. I felt there was a slight stiffness to the injured ankle but it could just be my brain playing confirmation bias. But he looked okay enough to do some sumo. Here's hoping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asashosakari 18,786 Posted March 24 (edited) After watching a guy hurt his ankle in maezumo just last week, come back walking normally two days later and then get feebly pushed out of the dohyo anyway, I'm not quite ready to ascribe much meaning to how Takerufuji just looked in the dohyo-iri.

Katooshu 3,135 Posted March 24 (edited) I mean, Kotoeko walks fine, yet still went 1-14 in juryo. I'm not sure being able to walk on your own says much about your sumo condition, other than you're not completely destroyed. I do hope he's okay though.
