Oh my goodness. What a day in Nagoya. We are heading to a grandstand finish in this one friends.
So many great matches to talk about. I’ve done that over on Bloody Elbow, where you can check out all the results and my analysis from Day 13. There you will also see a full replay of my bout of the day, Nishikigi vs. Hakuoho. You can see that here (link).
I can’t wait for these last two days and I feel like there are some twists and turns (and maybe some historic moments) to come.
Bonus gif of today is a moment from Day 13. It’s Hoshoryu and Kirishima just before their bout. I’m also excited to see this former teenage judo rivals go at it.
