Going into the final 3 days Onosato has 11 wins with Aonishiki, Fujinokawa, and Asanoyama at 9. Looking good for the yokozuna but stranger things have happened.

count again donDon

Onosato 11, Aonishiki 10

this can get very interesting in 3 seconds :)

yeah especially bc Onosato has not battled Aonishiki yet: https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi_basho.aspx?r=12836&b=202609

Presumably they'll meet on day 15. If Aonishiki wins tonight against Kirishima, he has a chance at defeating Onosato on day 15 and then meeting for a tie-breaker.

If Asanoyama wins today and tomorrow, it'll be a 3-way tie.

Someone told Fujiryoga to smile more:

(Kirishima vs Onosato) This changes everything:

I'd read a little bit about Asanoyama before, but reading up on it again, it makes a lot of sense that he'd be in contention for the championship:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asanoyama_Hiroki
• https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=12291

Asanoyama is 32
Aonishiki 22
Onosato 26

When i accidentally call Takayasu "old", i correct myself by adding "for sumo". He's only 36! Someone should update his profile photo on Wikipedia

OMG he looks so young there! TIL he's half-Filipino, too.

i thought he was half bear 😅

Half man, half amazing!
