Natsu Basho 2009 - Day 15
| |
Another tournament has been entered into the sumo history books with Harumafuji winning the first yusho of his career adding his name to list of foreign born rikishi that have also picked up the Emperor's Cup. Sadly, however, the first wrestler who accomplished the task, Takamiyama way back in 1972 and start a trend that will forever be a part of sumo, has retired from the Sumo Association after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 65. | | In Sumo Game, EM15 Gaijingai received his fourth Makunouchi yusho after winning a play-off with WM11 Chocshoporyu and WM13 Misisko. All three participants were also awarded the Kantosho for their efforts, while Sekiwake Huumi was handed the Ginosho with his 115 points for the tournament. In Juryo, EJ7 Bill picked up the yusho over WJ6 Rupatengu after tying in total points with 111. The day 13 match up between the two, which was won by Bill, however, was the deciding factor for the title. In Makushita, Wm51 Fujiyama was awarded the yusho after surviving a play-off with Em21 Getayukata and Em60 Toodemizu. In the end, the total number of days with eight or more points was the deciding factor between Fujiyama and Getayutaka. | | Good luck to all the winners and we hope to see everyone back for the July tournament!

Natsu Basho 2009 - Day 14
| |
Going into the final day of the Natsu Basho 2009 the yusho for all of the divisions are up for grabs and will most likely be settled with a play-off. In Makunouchi, Ozeki Sumio, WM11 Chocshoporyu, WM13 Misisko and EM15 Gaijingai are all tied with a 10-4 record with none of them meeting each other in a face to face match. Therefore, whoever manages to pick up a senshuraku victory will automatically be in the contenders list. Naturally, if one should be victorious of the four then no play-off will be necessary, however, if all should lose their last match, then any of the Komusubi Golynohana, WM2 Heikotoriki, EM8 Kotononami and WM14 Mariohana will remain statistically alive should they improve to 10-5. Odds are that one or more of 10-4 wrestlers will pick up one final win to avoid a real messy play-off, but crazy things have happened in the past. In terms of total points, Sumio has the advantage with 108, followed by Gaijingai with 104, Chocshoporyu at 102 and Misisko at 101. | | In Juryo, only three wrestlers hold their own destiny for the yusho and they are: EJ5 Kibooyama, WJ6 Rupatengu and EJ7 Bill. Should one win and the others lose then the winner would take the title outright. A victory by two or more or a loss by all three and a playoff would take place. Bill has a slight lead over Rupatengu in total points, 104-103, while Kibooyama has the most points to make up at 99. | | In Makushita, Em21 Getayutaka, Wm50 Saruyama, Wm51 Fujiyama, Em60 Toodemizu and Em68 Irinohana are all in the yusho hunt with 11-3 records, however, the head to head match between Saruyama and Fujiyama will set up the yusho battle with the victor either winning the title or advancing to a play-off and the loser being eliminated. If any of the other three contenders pick up a twelfth win on the final day they would join the playoff. Getayukata and Fujiyama are in the best shape with points at 103 while Irinohana has the most to make up at 97. | | Good luck!

Going into the final weekend of action it's anybodies guess how the title chase will pan out. In other news, Sekiwake Susanoo was victorious on the day and now only needs a pair of victories to get a nice bump up the Banzuke in July. | | In Juryo, EJ7 Bill won a key match over leader WJ6 Rupatengu to grab a share the lead along with EJ5 Kibooyama who was a winner over his opponent. All three wrestlers are now 9-4 with two days remaining in the tournament. In Makushita, both Wm50 Saruyama and Wm51 Fujiyama were able to improve to 11-1 to stay co-leaders.

On day 13 Rupatengu and Bill will face each other in a head to head match with yusho implications. In Makushita, leader Wm51 Fujiyama saw a five match winning streak come to an end while falling to 10-2.
