[Konosato]

I like your comments full of humor Moti and thank you for the videos.

[Mukonoso]

LOL, Kotooshu wins by "accident". Even better than "slippiotoshi"

[kuroimori]

Tochinoshin is now also known as Tochi-no-win

Day 10 corrected:

Should be "Tochiozan wins" instead of Aminishiki.

Stickler.

Oh, and Hakuho's kimarite was tottari, not kotenage...

[Doitsuyama]

And Hakuho's kotenage was officially ruled a tottari, similar move but lower grip.

Corrected with some other stuff..

A few months after i first started watching Sumo i remember that tournament directly after the scandal, the one that was just for show, and Tochinoshin did so well in it, he was on fire, what the heck happened? Sumo seems to be very fickle sometimes, with the exception of Hakuho there doesn't seem to be much consistency.

Tochinoshin got himself into some disciplinary problems at his heya and was essentially banned for keiko for about 2 basho. He had been starting to show some promise. but he has been stuck in mediocity since the incident.

[Washuyama]

I think Tochinoshin suffers from the same "brain vacuum" that Kotooshu and a few others deal with. Enough talent and strength to be really good, but lack of focus or whatever...

Yeah. It seems like that in so many sports. A lot of people just seem to ooze talent, it's like results come with little effort. But for some reason they cannot fully tap into that resource, it's there - but kinda out of reach. Mindset doesn't seem to be ready to fully embrace it. Every now and again they "flash" and you start thinking what the hell just happened, where did that come from. And then it's gone again.

It's like a switch that's on or off. Hakuho seems to always be "ON" for example :-D

He's had a pretty dire first ten days or so on several previous occasions when he's been ranked amongst the jo-jin - 1-9 in January 2011, 1-9 November 2011, 1-9 March 2012, 1-8 November 2012.... it's not that unusual for him.

Two funny looking coup de grace moves today, one was Chiyonokuni's shove on Ikioi who was trying to balance on one leg, sending him flying almost horizontally for a few microseconds, and the other was Yoshikaze's "Charging Bull" impersonation when he realized that Toyohibiki had stopped his own charge just short of the tawara, sending him into the audience...

Just click refresh. The video worked for me two seconds ago.

[aderechelsea]

yeah .... now it works for me too. :-)

[Kintamayama]

Thank you, members of the forum, for not shaming me in public for the disgraceful error I made in the video.. I am correcting it now before EVERYBODY sees it..

[yorikiried by fate]

I was just about to write that "Big Kaloyan" would mosdef be quite happy to face Kotoshogiku in the last four days...

[Asashosakari]

I'm in the process of adding all missing bouts for the basho, help with timecoding some larger Jk/Jd blocks on Days 5 and 12 is appreciated.

[Bugman]

Great video Kinta, thank you very much :)
