Day 10 is in the books and more wrestlers are joining the ranks of kachi-koshi and make-kochi. I won’t tell you, who, though, since those would be spoilers and I have a zero tolerance policy on those in these newsletters.
If you want to see who got their vaulted eighth wins on Day 10 you can check out my coverage on BloodyElbow.com (link).
There you’ll also find a full replay of my bout of the day, which is Kirishima vs. Ura. Other bouts I think are especially worth your time are Daieisho vs. Hiradoumi, Midorifuji vs. Tobizaru and Hoshoryu vs. Kotonowaka.
Hope you’re enjoying the coverage so far, as we head into the home stretch of this basho. I think the wrestlers themselves will be glad to have this one over. Nagoya has lived up to expectations for heat and a very slippery dohyo.
Bonus gif of the day is from Day 9, showing Shonannoumi (who is looking pretty good by the way) clearing a path for Kotoeko.
