Into the last week of the tournament and there is still no clear front-runner, though I have a pretty strong feeling on who I think has what it takes to maintain the momentum from a stellar first half of the basho.
Day 9 saw some great matches (Kotonowaka vs. Tobizaru, Shodai vs. Midorifuji, and Hoshoryu vs. Hiradoumi).
The results, highlights and my analysis are up on Bloody Elbow for you to check out (link).
If you’re going there, why not drop a comment on the post to let me know what you think of the coverage? Or just tell me your thoughts on the basho thus far. Who do you think will win? Who has surprised you?
Bonus gif today has to be that moment from Day 8.
