Sumo January 2023 Basho Discussion and Contest
- Thread starter Cvargo
- Start date
Tochinoshin is a Beast he bascially deadlifted that guy Fun Day 3 so far
Alright we are late enough into the day so no spooler alert. But can we talk about Takayasu? Something is up... He's in his own head and I'm not sure he can recover from it. He looks a step slow. And I think the fall on day one reminded him of last Basho.
ok Question.... the Guys that take the Envelopes from the winner and other gear. Are these guys like "Squires" so to speak?
Um kind of... They are wrestlers. In the Heya depending on your rank you will have lower ranked wrestlers assigned to you. The higher your rank the more errand boys you get. I think Terunofuji has 4 assigned to him.
ok was curious.. Abi looks fierce, I assume Heya is the House?
Yes it is. Also the higher your rank means you get private quarters. Lower your rank you sleep in communal area. They also have a "Sumo mom" assigned that watches over them and does the cooking.
The Takakeisho match was a blast to watch as well
ok last question I watched Natosumo and what was the closing stuff at the end?
Twirling bow ceremony. They do it at the end of each day
Cool Thanks, I will probably get in to the picking one of these days when I understand more. Right now it is like picking the winning greyhound at the races. If it poops before the race on the paddock that dog gets picked to win... No handicapping LOL

Sorry was at a Knights meeting. But if you go here Sumopedia - GRAND SUMO Highlights - TV - NHK WORLD - English
They have a bunch short videos explaining all the subtleties of sumo. They are short quick watches.

Yeah I think he was in his own head, I think he'll turn it around... Hopefully not too late!

Yeah, being a big 'Yasu fan, I've been sad to see it, but I could tell from that first slap of his belt, that he was looking more himself today, hopefully it continues.
