Day 11

Juryo
Churanoumi vs Kotokuzan - big pushypushy battle
Kaisei won quick. Audience wasnt too enthusiastic.
Yeah, most of the guys have to fight Hokuseiho as if they were Enhos.
Great save by Hiradoumi.
Tohakuryu also on leave coz Covid.
Azumaryu ditto. This basho is turning into a joke. Although all those fatsos might get problems with their hearts. That would be a shame.
Ryuden leading with 9-2. Still others have a chance.

Makuuchi
Terutsuyoshi also managed a henka - leg grab combo. Was a bit difficult to finish it.
Tsurigisho held Midorifuji down well, but he had to try further, allowing Midori to move. Then was pulled down.
Kotoshoho also out with his stable.
Kotoeko too. Same stable.
Nishikigi was startin out with 8-2. And left the dohyo with 8-3. Important loss.
Tochinoshin vs Meisei - very energetic bout. It was good.
Great salto, Kiribayama! Good bout tho.
Ichonojo vs Abi - Shieeeeeeet. Abi almost salvaged it. Almost. Ichinojo has one more win 9-2.
Kotonowaka is out too, the same beya.
Takakeisho vs Tobizaru - another important bout for Tobizaru's 8-2. Takakeisho beat him in an exceting bout. Lost balance, almost stepped out, couldn't regain balance just redirect his path, but Takakeisho slapped him down.
Terunofuji vs Hoshoryu - Wow. Round and round. And round. In the end I thing Teru pushed unnecessarily. Hoshoryu made him run for his money tho. Very nice bout. 9-2.

So now Teru and Granma shares the top position. Takakeisho just one step behind, with others but I don't think they really count in this equation (as yesterday stated, and Kotonowaka is down for covid). Teru still not faced Takakeisho. Nor Shodai. Or rather they have not faced him.  Both are beatable. Probably Tobizaru too has to go that way.


This covid thing doesn't make sense. They testing positive means they had it earlier, and with all the hugging it already should have infected everyone anyway.
