Harumafuji: 70th Yokozuna!
http://www.sanspo.com/sports/photos/20120928/sum12092805020000-p3.html
But why oh why is he adopting the Shiranui-gata Dohyo-iri style?!! I know, just following in his shisho's footsteps. The hell with that -- Unryu-gata all the way!

Daaaaaaaaayum.
I don't know what I find more impressive, what happened during the match itself or the fact that there were that many western people watching a sumo event.

Back when I was younger and a little more stupid, I might have looked at this and said "challenge accepted".
Now I just know better.

Never would have thought that they'd even be allowed to "play around" like this.

Chiyonofuji dead

The Wolf passes on:
ex-yokozuna Chiyonofuji dead at 61
.
This one is brutal. I saw Chiyo go on an extended run of yusho in his thirties that seemed to me unbelievable. A combination of power and grace and amazing technique in a sport dominated by massive, immobile forces.
Cancer is a bitch. It can bring down Everest. And a Fujisan.

A hiramaku yusho is possible when there's chaos in the upper ranks. In this tournament two yokozuna withdrew, one was "retired," and one more went on a four-bout losing tailspin in the second half. I don't anticipate Tochinoshin to keep this up when the joi-jin are all back and healthy but hey, I really hope he soaks all of this in. Pennant flags fly forever and so do yusho portraits at the Kokugikan.

Anyways Takakeisho got promoted to Ozeki. Who was under the tutelage of Takanohana before leaving JSA
Congrats to him and hoping for better things down the line
Also, I've gotten to know most of them and I have Takayasu and Yago as my faves
