And we’re done. What an incredible tournament. We found out on the previous day that Terunofuji would be crowned champ and that Kiribayama had done what he’d needed to clinch ozeki status.
But the last day still had some great matches, like Kiribayama vs. Hoshoryu. Tobizaru vs. Tamawashi and Abi vs. Ura were fun, too, which each of those stuck on 7-7 heading in.
You can check out all the results and my analysis for the final day here (link). Also included is who won the juryo championship and a gif of the whole bout — you won’t want to miss that!
I hope you enjoyed these daily updates (and weren’t put off by them). Time for a break. But I’ll be back soon with my natsu basho report card for everyone in the makuuchi.
Until then, be excellent.
