Gospodin

Oh no But I have to disagree that absolutely nothing can be done to at least reduce the possibilities of further dislocation(s). Do others here also think the comparison with the shoulder joint is a bit far-fetched ?

That would be utterly classless, imo. Not worth of a Yokozuna.

I can understand yesterday's non-call for a mono-ii. But today - Yoshinofuji vs Ichiyamamoto...boys. Since the shimpan obviously held a collective nap, here one of the rikishi at ring side should have raised his hand.

I fondly remember Kyokushuzan´s repertoire of jumps.

Oonosato´s strength, combined with his calm demeanor...just otherwordly. The only thing that worries me is if he would start neglecting technique (his footwork) because of his power, like Terunofuji supposed did. Hopefully he does not get seriously injured by overly relying on his physique.

And I´ve been watching for very much longer. Must be my blind spot.

Takayasu´s harite definitely riled the Yokozuna.

To be fair, they are both very young. At first I thought Daigozakura was playing with his food, but as the bout went on...

Kekaeshi ? Seriously ? Watching one is a first for me.

Ooooh, he is just carefully managing his rank to get himself into the position of a M17 yusho in January. We haven´t had one lately.

Asanoyama gets better as the basho progresses. I am curious how far he can make it Makuuchi.

While acknowledging that wrestling while constantly being hung over hampered his performance and despite his meager record, an upbeat Mitakeumi looks forward to a sanyaku return, since his visionary oyakata´s advice to "just take on the guy in the middle" is starting to pay dividends.

Aonishiki paid apprentice fee today. And dearly.

Oshoma...that well-timed slap caught Shodai completely by surprise and besides ringing his chimes put him away for good.

Hoshoryu goes 5-0 and, expecting the celebration, is surprised when he is told he has not yet won the "Fukuoka-koen" .
