dada78641 884 Posted January 25, 2017 I found a video here of the press conference. Not terrific quality but it's the full broadcast. Going to guess this will be taken down at some point... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sprech4 9 Posted January 25, 2017 Thank you for the photos - I'm still not used to seeing Kisenosato smile this much! He's so serious, I keep forgetting he can do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the dohyo roof being supported by pillars rather than suspended. Why no one ever brained themselves on those things I don't know.

Manekineko 200 Posted January 30, 2017 Wow the picture flood. I don't remember seeing such shot-by-shot coverage of the dohyo-iri before, you can practically make a movie out of them. Well, I guess it's no wonder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a reason why yokozuna tend to not do that well in their debut tournament..... although his mentor Takanosato was the first since Futabayama to zensho-yusho in his first, so you never know.
