I see, thank you

can anyone explain why NHK speaks about all time second place of Chiyonofuji (and now Hakuho) in the most consecutive wins list, while Wiki informs that this result is only fifth? Does one take into account different era?

ok, thank you for the explanation. Hope, Takamisakari will not collapse.

He was falling. His feet were touching dohyo inside the ring, the rest of his body was out, but still in the air at the moment when Takamisakari stepped out. I'll try to explain, what I mean. There is basic sumo rule "Who touches the ground first loses", but this rule is not absolute, since, tells Wiki,

actually, you're right, but at that moment Hakuba's body (almost completely excluding foots) was in the air and out of the ring. Doesn't it play any role?

agree. The same question arises to the decision of shimpans about Takamisakari-Hakuba bout. Video of the bout. What do you think?

very nice, thank you

yeah, it was great. what's about this? Nervous?

thanks fo the link!

does anybody have a video (link) for this bout? I've missed first day ...

well, the criteria is result. The result is no bomb, no panic, everybody is okay. This means the decision was correct.

good basho. A little shock helps to find new forms even for old things. And, I agree, sumo is very old and definitely will survive.

thanks for pictures

respect Aminishiki! I watched (and recorded) it online and then viewed the match step by step. Aminishiki has jumped into the stalls in order to let Tochinoshin touch dohyo first. He gave all for win, real sumo spirit.
