Azumaryu is finally kachikoshi 10 years after his Makuuchi debut.

The recent hype about transgender/non-binary people in sports makes me wonder about what happens if any NSK member whose responsibilities include dohyo entrance (rikishi, oyakata, gyoji, etc) actually comes out as transgender/non-binary.

No mahjong or weed involved? Not even worth Shibatayama's time.

Great to see Terunofuji back! 3 Makuuchi promotions from Sadogatake - I wonder if this is a record for a single sumo-beya.

Another Hatsu basho, another hatsu yusho. Kotoshogiku in 2016, Kisenosato in 2017, Tochinoshin in 2018, Tamawashi in 2019, now Tokushoryu.

What was Kakuryu thinking there, going in low? Tomokaze never let him anywhere near his mawashi. Mitakeumi kachikoshi.

And there goes the last of the Mohicans. Good timing as well, 6 years to learn how to run a heya until Isegahama-oyakata retires.

Mitakeumi stays in sanyaku for the 14th straight tournament. And Kakuryu has bottled it.

Just a matter of fact, Fujinoteru (72 kg) beat Wakamatsunaga (117 kg) by TSUKAMINAGE today.

Kise-beya though... 7 sekitori, and none of them in Makuuchi. Is this the record for most sekitori from the same heya?

Or maybe sakatottari.

Maybe not all of us have seen the UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool, but certainly all of us heard about a controversial episode between Sergio Ramos, the captain of Real Madrid, and Mo Salah of Liverpool. This is the episode. Let's look at this controversy from the sumo perspective. Imagine that you are the shinpan, and this is what happened on the dohyo. What would be your decision on this bout? What kimarite would you call? And who actually won the bout?

In a departure from the yusho topic... Sazanami (Sd43w) has beaten Toryu (Sd48w) by gasshohineri today, first appearance of this extremely rare kimarite in almost 10 years.

Snooker, darts and F1. Not a big fan of soccer football anymore but still watch it either when Swansea City or our national team plays. Soccer football these days is full of yaocho.
