Nagoya Basho 2010 - Day 14
| |
Going into the final day of the Nagoya Basho, all of the divisions are still up for grabs. In Makunouchi, the yusho comes down to two competitors with any mathematical chance: EM18 Hokuro and Ozeki Doitsuyama. After 14 days Hokuro has the best record in the division at 12-2 while Doitsuyama is one match down at 11-3. A win by Hokuro will clinch the yusho regardless of Doitsuyama's performance. However a loss by Hokuro and a win by Doitsuyama will force a playoff and put Hokuro on the defensive since Doitsuyama has a sizable point lead 104-99. | | In Juryo, as many as four participants are still in the yusho hunt. At the top of the leader board are WJ6 Fuseigou and WJ12 Anjoboshi both at 11-3. A win by one and a loss by the other will give the victorious member the title outright. However, a win by both would force a playoff and put Fuseigou in control with his dominance in points over Anjoboshi 102-95. A loss by both would allow EJ2 Mariohana and EJ8 Yokotanoharry to join in the playoff should either one pick up their 11th win. However, Fuseigou would still be the man to beat since Mariohana has only 92 points thus far and Yokotanoharry is slightly better off at 94. | | In Makushita it is a two way battle for the yusho between Wm63 Kimpatsuyama and Wm58 Gwynho. Kimpatsuyama at 13-1 is in the best position for the title and only needs a win. A loss by Kimpatsuyama and a win by Gwynho who is presently one loss down would force a playoff, however, Kimpatsuyama with a five point lead over Gwynho, 98-93, would most likely win the playoff.

Nagoya Basho 2010 - Day 13
| |
On day 13 of the Nagoya Basho 2010, the trio of co-leaders in the Makunouchi division was reduced to a duo as WM18 Yuko was handed a third kuroboshi of the tournament by EM2 Sokkenaiyama in a lopsided defeat. As a result Ozeki Doitsuyama and EM18 Hokuro share the lead at 11-2 with Yuko falling to one match off the pace at 10-3. Doitsuyama kept his chances alive for a return to Yokozuna with his victory but, sadly, kadoban Ozeki Sumio, who was flirting with Yokozuna promotion for several tournaments, fell to 5-8 and will be demoted to Sekiwake. Sumio will get a chance next tournament to return to Ozeki should he pick up at least 10 wins. In Juryo, leader WJ6 Fuseigou saw an eight match winning streak come to an end as well as sole leadership. Presently, Fuseigou and WJ12 Anjoboshi are co-leaders at 10-3 with a group of five a loss down. In Makushita, Wm63 Kimpatsuyama saw his chances for Sumo Game's first ever zen-shou yusho slip away as he picked up his first defeat on day 13. Kimpatsuyama retains the lead, however, his loss allowed Wm11 Derakuho, Wm58 Gwynho and Wm62 Kitanokaze to get within striking distance of the yusho with two days remaining in the tournament.

Nagoya Basho 2010 - Day 12
| |
After day 12 of the Nagoya Basho 2010 the trio of yusho contenders for the Makunouchi division remain firmly planted at the top of the leader board with nobody yielding the right of way. Ozeki Doitsuyama, EM18 Hokuro and WM18 Yuko all improved to 10-2 on the day and setting up a wild ride to the finish. Doitsuyama continues to impress and now has a magic number of three to return to the rank of Yokozuna. In Juryo, a crashing out of three of the four co-leaders now puts WJ6 Fuseigou in command of the division while in Makushita, Wm63 Kimpatsuyama increased his winning streak to 12 to remain the man to beat down the stretch.

Nagoya Basho 2010 - Day 11
| |
Day eleven of the Nagoya Basho saw no change in the leader board in any of the divisions. In Makunouchi, Ozeki Doitsuyama, EM18 Hokuro and WM18 Yuko maintain a two match lead over the field despite all three falling to 9-2. In Juryo, WJ4 Otokomae, WJ6 Fuseigou, WJ12 Anjoboshi and EJ14 Natsunoyama all improved to 9-2 to continue the stalemate at the top of the heap. In Makushita, Wm63 Kimpatsuyama kept his winning streak alive to remain unbeaten and two matches ahead of all other competitors.

Nagoya Basho 2010 - Day 10
| |
For the third day in a row there was very little movement in the leader boards. In Makunouchi division, Ozeki Doitsuyama, EM18 Hokuro and WM18 Yuko all picked up their ninth win of the tournament. At this point it should be noted that should Doitsuyama finish the tournament with 13 wins, it would be enough for a return to the rank of Yokozuna having fulfilled the requirement of 22 wins in two consecutive tournaments. In Juryo, the number of co-leaders was trimmed to four after WJ5 Gibuten handed his third loss of the tournament by former Sekiwake Gaijingai. As a result, WJ4 Otokomae, WJ6 Fuseigou, WJ12 Anjoboshi and EJ14 Natsunoyama continue to fight it out for control of the yusho going into the final third of the tournament. In Makushita, Wm63 Kimpatsuyama now has a two match lead over the field, a rarity for that division considering the high number of competitors entered in each tournament.
