The 2023 Nagoya basho is over. And it was great. And covering it both here and on Bloody Elbow was so much fun (covering sumo has breathed fresh life into my combat sports career, truth be told).
My final update and analysis on this tournament is available on Bloody Elbow. You can see it here (link).
If you enjoyed this coverage and would like to see more in-depth pieces on what went down in Nagoya, please consider picking up a paid subscription.
Thanks to everyone who opened one of these emails or checkout out my work on Bloody Elbow.
Bonus gif today is Tamashoho’s weird warm-up routine, because why not?
For years I have followed sumo on Kintamayama and Natto Sumo. Is there a repalcement for these wonder sites??
