Day 9 is in the books and it was a good one at the 2024 summer basho. You can check the results, along with my analysis and highlights, over on The Fight Site now (link).
Takayasu returned on this day to take on Hoshoryu. Both their bout and the antics around it are very worth your time.
The most important matches of the day were Onosato vs. Hiradoumi, Kotozakura vs. Onosho, Kinbozan vs. Mitakeumi, Takanosho vs. Ura, Takarafuji vs. Churanoumi and Shonannoumi vs. Roga. This shows you how remarkable this tournament has been, with our leaders coming from quite unexpected places on the banzuke.
Exciting matches you should check out include Shodai vs. Midorifuji, Tokihayate vs. Niskifuji and Ryuden vs. Hokutofuji.
Bonus gif is the stare-down between Rising Dragon and the Big Peaceful.
