Alright I am caught up through Day 3. Really happy with Wakatakakage, and Mitakeumi is looking great! Shodai... not so much.

I had both Daiesho and Mitakeumi so I lost a point.

I think you are 1 up on me though.

Check out the day 3 Takakeisho v Hoshoryo match. Quite the throw.

I'm caught up on the highlights through day 3 at least. only recognizing a few at this point but there have been some good bouts.

So i'm guessing the envelopes the winner receives are prize for that match, why are there some where the winner isn't given any?

Lower matches are not necessarily sponsored. There is some great short clips on this site that outline a lot of it. Sumopedia - GRAND SUMO Highlights - TV - NHK WORLD - English

Great matches on day 4!

Looking forward to day 5, hope Mitakeumi & Takayasu keep it up! It would be great to see Mitakeumi go back to back!

Anyone know why Ura gets run through the top ranked guys early on every tournament? He finishes strong, but really gets run through the Buzzsaw early on!

I wonder if there will be anymore matches after the massive earthquake today!?!?!

@Majorrich the Japanese commercials are pretty comical lol

The men all look effemenate...

 

[CVargo]

When Takakeisho is on he is a lot of fun to watch. I think he gets his 8.

i think i heard something about his rank having something to do with that. he is supposed to go against everyone above him in the first week or something

I like watching the lower matches too.

 

[CVargo]

The Ukrainian from the lower division Shishi is undefeated thus far.

 

[uacowboy]

there were some really solid matches today. and a few surprises. only 1 left undefeated.

Day 5 thoughts:

Abi is looking great! Seems stronger
Wakatakakage is having a great match. Will be interesting as he goes into week 2
Shodai is just not impressing even with a W today
Mitakeumi
