Day 7 now and this is a proper sumo tournament. Nobody of note kyujo, the top dogs all (mostly) winning, and the top Megas getting the shit properly kicked out of them every single day. And we're now almost to the second half of the tournament where the top dogs have to face each other every day. Really looking forward to this week.
At 7-0, we ave Hakuho, Kakuryu, Takayasu and - form the lower ranks - Hokutofuji. It;s just about possible you could see Hokutofuji sneak in this time because the way the schedule is going to shake out there isn't really room to bring a lower-ranked guy into the schedule of the top dogs in the final days. Could be interesting.
At 6-1 - Goeido, Mitakaeumi, Kisenosato (who has not been brilliant by any means, but he has been entertaining, very good to see him back)
At 5-2 - Tochinoshin, Abi, Yoshikaze, Takanoiwa, Asanoyama
This last week is going to be lit, as the kids say. BTW - I have found a good livestream for the Makuuchi bouts at least if youwant to get a flavour of what the whole ritual looks like (as opposed to just check out the hilights). The NHK-Globlal stream is here (in Japanese) - https://aqstream.com/jp/nhk/NHK-G. The san'yaku bouts run from about 9-10AM UK time.
