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.

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.
