Day 7 results, highlights and analysis have been added to my post on The Fight Site. Head there now for all the deets of what went down (link)
This is a wide open basho at this point. And we cross the midway point there are maybe half a dozen rikishi who I think could win the cup this month. Will it be an upstart prospect? A san’yaku regular? A rank-and-filer? Only one way to find out.
Among the bouts I enjoyed from Day 7 were Takerufuji vs. Shonannoumi, Onsato vs. Onosho, Gonoyama vs. Hiradoumi, Oho vs. Atamifuji and Sadanoumi vs. Kotoshoho.
Bonus gif of the day is our lone yokozuna, looking menacing as ever.
Something I've been wondering about: What is the deal with Onosho's hair? How come he doesn't wear the topknot like all the other fighters? His hair looks long enough.
