Doitsuyama 1,185 Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) Last basho we had numerous suspensions because of gambling which led to numerous juryo demotions and makuuchi promotions, and it should be interesting to see how the rikishi will fare outside of their usual ranks. Ex-ozeki Miyabiyama lost his first juryo bout in a while but he met another strong rikishi with Toyonoshima in the marquee juryo matchup today. Goeido, Wakakoyu and Okinoumi won with only Brazilian Kaisei beating a gambler as he won against Toyohibiki with yorikiri. Shin-sekitori Takarafuji won against Nakanokuni, the second Chinese sekitori in a short span while Tochinowaka got a free win over Yamamotoyama. The fourth shin-sekitori Shironoryu won against Sagatsukasa. In makuuchi ozeki Kaio had his first bout at 38 years as he missed the action on his birthday at day 14 in Nagoya. As he is kadoban, he has to get eight wins this basho or else, and he started well with a lively win against Homasho. In the last bout Kakuryu gave a good effort to break Hakuho's win streak, but couldn't prevent a good start into the basho for the yokozuna.

Tokyo Tom 0 Posted September 12, 2010 I didn't see the Kaio/Homsaho match but isn't hatakikomi considered to be a henka-waza technique? Did Kaio just jump out of the way or did he backpedal and let Homasho fall forward? I do not recall Kaio using a henka since I started following sumo at the Fukuoka basho in 2006. Kaio has been one of my top favorites since the beginning and I hope the crafty veteran doesn't have to resort to dodgy techniques to get his 8 wins and stay active for one last run in Kyushu. P.S. When I previewed the post I didn't mean to use "dodgy" as a pun- it just worked out that way. Gambarre Kaio! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takamizawa 0 Posted September 12, 2010 I hope the crafty veteran doesn't have to resort to dodgy techniques to get his 8 wins and stay active for one last run in Kyushu. I like Kaio as much as the next guy, but I've lost count of how many basho this has already been going on for.. His matches aren't really enjoyable anymore (at least for me), but you can't really fault the guy for it either. In some ways, one more ugly basho is almost (being the key word here) tolerable just for the chance to see him one last time in Fukuoka, since it's the one basho I can actually attend!.
