Everyone Loves Sumo!!!

Whew! I completely forgot to order my calendar! Thanks Matt! Got ‘er done!

Who's Buttcheek of the month for October?

Actually most of the months have them in kimonos.

 

[HMan]

I always order here. Not sure about shipping to Finland though 2024 Sumo Calendar

Thanks, ships to Finland, but it's painfully expensive

 

[CVargo]

You hear the gyogi announce the winner? Sounded a lot like!

ATAMI FREAKING FUJI!!!!!

Atamifuji yusho let's go!!!

 

[Luecke3262]

Whew! What a finish! I see a new Yokozuna in the next tournament or two.

 

[Luecke3262]

Tamawashi turned 39 during the basho! I’m 38 and couldn’t imagine being physical at their level! He’s one of my favorites for sure!

 

[CVargo]

Krishima will make a great yokozuna

 

[HMan]

Watched the whole basho on NHK YouTube this time. NHK needs to get these up the same day. Going back to Natto next time, thanks to all the spoilers in YouTube thumbnails, including NHK's own!
Anyway, it was a great basho.
As much as I like Takakeisho, Kirishima will be a great Yokozuna, agreed.

I am also a Takakeisho fan, but I just don't think his body can get him through a full 15 days consistently to achieve the rank of Yokozuna.

Welp… Sumo Calendar has arrived. Only to be wrapped immediately so I won’t see it until it is time.

 

[CVargo]

I had no idea it was that big of a deal

I knew the game they were playing, but yes I agree that there was a bit unprofessionalism going on here. Lets go boys! Charge!

I always thought it was an unwritten rule that lower rank puts hands down first, learned something here.

Same.

Wakatakakage had a 5-2 record for this basho and MAY return to Juryo next tournament, but that may be a stretch. I am looking forward to seeing him healthy!

I think he is too far down for Juryo... but it's possible

 

[HMan]

I was wondering what was happening with him. 5-2, that's not so great in that division for him. Is the injury still affecting him?

I need to watch his videos, I had not taken the time to see how he is moving so far. I think @CVargo may be right because Tachiai made no mention of him joining back with Juryo.

Looking Ahead to the Hatsu Banzuke

Congratulations to Ozeki Kirishima on a somewhat quiet but powerful 13-2 yusho! In the end, he finished two victories clear of his closest pursuers (Sekiwake Kotonowaka and rank-and-filers Atamifuj…

Woohoo, just found a source for the official calendar, with decent shipping costs, hopefully it's here before summer.
