Day 8 delivered more great bouts and drama on the dohyo. Asanoyama coming back from injury to take on Takakeisho was the most dramatic scene that played out this day. The match itself did not disappoint.
You can see the results and highlights (and read my analysis) of Day 8 on Bloody Elbow right now (link).
My bout of the day was Kotonowaka vs. Shodai. It wasn’t the flashiest fight, but it was a solid battle between two very well-matched rikishi.
Hiradoumi vs. Tsurugisho, Midorifuji vs. Myogiryu and Tobizaru vs. Meisei were also especially fun watches.
Bonus gif today is Gonoyama (for the second day in a row!). This time it’s his poweful drive leading to a win over Onosho.
