We are now three days into the 2024 summer tournament and we have already been blessed with some great matches and upsets. However, we’re also dealing with the injury bug. We’ve lost some big names so far this tournament and another went down before Day 3 (they might return later, though).
You can check out Day 3’s results, highlights and analysis over on The Fight Site now (link).
My must-see matches for this day include Tsurugisho vs. Tokihayate, Sadanoumi vs. Hokutofuji, Midorifuji vs. Takanosho, Wakamotoharu vs. Gonoyama and Hoshoryu vs. Daieisho.
It’s obviously still early, but we have a small group of leaders on 3-0. There’s a great mix of young and old rikishi in that cohort. There’s a couple in there I’d love to see still leading when we get to the business end of this basho.
Bonus gif today is Abi’s Day 2 win over Hoshoryu.
