Yes, it's that time again...
The July Grand Sumo tournament opened Sunday.
| Not too many big storylines this time. Asashoryu goes for his 5th straight championship (and 4th out of 4 this year). Kaio is 'kadoban' -- if he doesn't win 8, he'll be demoted from Ozeki. There are a couple new wrestlers, including Hakurozan, who is the younger brother of Russian wrestler Roho. Not the first brothers to make the top level of Sumo, but definitely the first foreign brothers (and of course, the first caucasian brothers -- love those white sumo wrestlers!)
3 days are done and the news is pretty familiar. Asashoryu is 3-0 and looks as strong as ever. He has now won 20 matches in a row, dating back to the March tournament. |  |
Yokozuna -- Asashoryu 3-0
Ozeki -- Tochiazuma 3-0; Kaio, Chiyotaikai 2-1
Sekiwake -- Hakuho, Kotomitsuki 2-1
Komusubi -- Koto'oshu 2-1; Miyabiyama 1-2
Also 3-0: Kokkai and Iwakiyama, 2 guys who had bad tournaments and got demoted further than they belong, so they'll have good records this time, and 19-yr. old Kisenosato.
