Turns out hard to find the time to watch the basho.
So Day 4 just now. Commenting only on a couple of highlights.
Juryo
Kinbozan did good.
Gonoyama rolled a 100.
Kagayaki confidently.
Asanowaka had a surprisingly easy win.
Daishoho couldn't recover after made losing balance.
Makuuchi
Big struggle between Oho and Chiyoshoma. Gyoji tried to get the sagari, but failed. Grip too strong. Finally Oho won.
Nice win by Midori. Kotoeko almost rolled him out.
Tochinoshin got henka'd. What's more, his push bounced Tobizaru, and helped him.
Whoa, Ura! Great job.
Hoshoryu vs Shodai. Dat bout. Very nice. Hoshoryu was playing the "I don't squat first, you squat first" game, it feels disgraceful. Shodai still an ozeki, even if doesn't have the best form. So I'm glad Shodai won this one, Hoshoryu needs more humility.
Ouch. Ichonojo that almost hairpull. Probably his fingers got stuck in some looser strands, because that wasn't an actual grab.
Kotonowaka plays a game that suits Teru. That's not how you beat the yokozuna.
