Just to follow up this post, I wanted to make another one with a bit of an announcement! I’ve been making sumo threads on Sherdog every two months since late 2008, and it’s been one of my favorite things about this forum. Through those threads I’ve been able to learn so much more about the sport...
It’s that time again, and another sumo tournament is just around the corner! These days sumo feels a bit like it’s undergoing a changing of the guard. There are a lot of exciting young wrestlers that are performing amazingly, while some of the higher profile veterans are struggling to put in...
That time has come around again, and another sumo tournament is just about to start. And, not for the first time, the between-tournament news has been dominated by a scandal involving stable violence. This time, it's involving the stable of the greatest of all time, former Yokozuna Hakuho...
Phew, you love to see it wrap up like that. Terunofuji looking dominant, and the lifting-out of Kirishima was imperious.
Kotonowaka looked great as well, and gave Terunofuji an excellent challenge, but in the end can't beat the big man.
Love seeing Terunofuji looking so strong again.
And...
more good stuff from Onosato.
Hokuseiho's long right arm is such a good weapon.
Daieisho countered Abi's thrusts really well and then capitalized on an opening.
Kirishima still doing what he's gotta do.
great performance from Wakamotoharu, and Terujofuji's knees just can't resist that kind...
good resilience by Shimazuumi. i thought Aoiyama was doing great to follow him around, but Shimazuumi did a really good job of circling away and staying off center.
good start for Onosato as well.
woah.... Kotonowaka against Abi. Hiro got it right, that was a manhandling.
loved the...
The first sumo tournament of 2024 has rolled around, and brings with it an exciting storyline. We've got a big promotion opportunity in the first tournament of the year, and we've got a young up-and-comer making big waves and with some big momentum coming into the tournament. After 2023, a...
Better late than never! Another sumo tournament has rolled around, and this will be the last one of the year. It's been a wild year with a lot of movement, change at the top, younger guys coming up, and high-profile absences. Let's see how 2023 ends in the sumo world, and if there's one last...
there's a Sumopedia video on the yusho prizes here, although it's not complete:
i also found this list from SumoForum along with some interesting stories. the format is weird, but it's so long i'll just copy/paste it:
Orion’s List: Trophies and Prizes presented to the Yusho winner
(not...
Been behind the whole tournament and finally caught up and watched the final day. I can definitely see both sides of the great henka debate, and I think I typically come down on the "it's all in the game baby" side. One of my favorite wrestlers of all time, Tokitenku used henka into ketaguri...
We've got another tournament just around the corner. After the excitement from the upper ranks last tournament, we might be settling into a bit more of a normal tournament this time, albeit with July's champion coming in with a big promotion and also having a big opportunity in front of him...
