Akinomaki 40,621 Posted January 24, 2024 I guess Hakuho will take care that this gets much media attention, so I put it in a separate thread On 22/01/2024 at 22:35, Akinomaki said: If you hear dream in connection with sumo, you know that Miyagino is involved. The 1st Dreamgirls cup is one day before the Hakuho cup - with not just Hakuho as supporter, the event has the same promoter as the Hakuho cup.

Akinomaki 40,621 Posted February 4, 2024 World championships heavy middle weight bronze medallist Rio Hasegawa (Keio university sumo club, 2nd year) takes part as coach. She instructed the daughters of Hakuho and others who take part without sumo experience. In the end butsukari-geiko with jd Onokura o Hasegawa took part in the Hakuho cup in 2013 as 3rd year, among the boys - then not at the kokugikan of course: she finished 3rd. The next year the cup was at the kokugikan and girls could no longer take part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katooshu 3,250 Posted February 12, 2024 (edited) It was a fun event. Female sumo rarely disappoints, unless perhaps you are a hardcore pusher/thrust fan, as it is mostly grappling. The technique is pretty good even at younger ages and their sportsmanship is impeccable. Edited February 12, 2024 by Katooshu 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
