Black ... on black?! Is this another of Konishiki's fashion feat?

Takakeisho Determined to Return to Ozeki
TheGunbaiHolder replied to Gaijingai's topic in Honbasho Talk
If all he has ever knew was the sumo diet, than that's his regular diet. -
I would have loved to see that in person.

I was watching the Judo men's 90 kg final at the Olympics (Sanshiro vs Bekauri). The referees awarded the win to Bekauri in a decision that I found controversial. Did somebody watched it and found it weird? Especially for a final, it was so underwhelming.

Olympics 90kg men final: referees' decision?
TheGunbaiHolder replied to TheGunbaiHolder's topic in Off-topic
It was indeed a great match. I was waiting for the replay to finish; the tension was so intense; and then ... match over -
Also in. thanks!

My wife, a trained chef, is always impressed with their kitchens. They really know their ways around cooking professionally.

Good, that sounds more thoughtful than to start another combat sport with perhaps too much body weight.

Isn't jujutsu = jujitsu?
-
In the youtube video from the stable channel the caption said "jujutsu". At 16:40: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/2vr5OR_v4e8

I got a kid. Does that count? P.S. What the heck, count me in, I'm not gonna sleep anyway...

I'll sit the next ones out. Thanks!

I often wonder why sandanme and makushita rikishis retire. E.g., if they decided to quite because of lack of progress, injury, etc. Is there a source where I can find out? I can't read Japanese.

Nishonoseki & Onosato Given Stern Reprimand by NSK for Allowing Underage Drinking
TheGunbaiHolder replied to Kaninoyama's topic in Ozumo Discussions
I find it very possible. I come from a non-drinking culture and I have lived in a drinking one; the peer pressure alone is strong. Refusing too many beers/shots will be slightly mocked. No big deal, but I can imagine someone to abuse its position. Not saying Onosato did that, but it's a bit naive to assume some people are not (psychologically) bullied into it. -
Would that classify as a Henka? I think so and I am very impressed.

Gotta love such hidden gems of sumo history.

what happened in 1932? P.S. I started looking at that rikishi opponents, which included Futabayama. I went to read Futabayama wiki page and stumble upon this: What does that mean? Was the dohyo smaller before? The source [1] is Dynamic Sumo by Clyde Newton, but I do not have access to it.

I am so sad

In thanks

From Nishikigi's score, I thought he would also have been injured, but I guess he is not, since he's taking part in the jungyo? Why did he do so poorly last basho? Is it normal to get this kind of scores for "new" san'yaku?
-
Any news on why Kirishima did so poorly?
-
Takakeisho will surprise you. My crystal ball says he'll be 12-3.
