Ms19w Osanai (1-1-3) (1-4) Haruyama Ms17w [kimarite: sotogake]

He tripped Osanai's good leg ... but that put all his weight on the bad leg.  Osanai hopped off the dohyo on his good leg.

Day 13 Highlights

A very lengthy list considering it was a day with a reduced number of matches, so bring some time. Quite a few very unusual kimarite as well, plus no less than five mono-ii (including two torinaoshi). Three bouts involving winless rikishi showing that a bad record doesn't have to mean unattractive sumo.

Jd69e Wakasei (1-5) Tsurunoumi Jd56w
