Aki Basho 2009 - Day 15
| |
The Aki Basho is over with Asashoryu proving once again to never underestimate the heart of a champion. With both the final day bout and the playoff match between Yokozuna's destined to be included in highlight reels for years to come, it was finally Asashoryu hoisting the Emperors Cup for the 24th time equaling the great Kitanoumi for third on the all time career yusho list. Baruto came into his own this tournament with some great sumo as did Kakuryu and Goeido. Kaio won enough matches to get his kachikoshi heading into home turf while Chiotaikai proved once again that he is...never mind. | | In Sumo Game, Komusubi Randomitsuki won his first yusho in Makunouchi over EM7 Nushuzan in play-off and picked up the Ginosho for the 119 point tournament effort while Nushuzan was awarded the Kantosho for staying competiive most of the basho. In Juryo, EJ4 Kaiowaka defeated EJ10 Qijuryu in a play-off, 112 points to 111, for the yusho. In Makushita, Wm49 Toodemizu was handed the title in a lopsided win over his nearest rival Wm24 Gibuten on a senshuraku direct match-up. | | Congratulations to all the winners and we hope everyone stays healthy during the flu season to make their way back here in November! Take care!

Aki Basho 2009 - Day 14
| |
Going into the final day of the Aki Basho 2009, the number of potential yusho winners have been reduced to just a handful so here are the scenarios for the title: | | In Makunouchi, Komusubi Randomitsuki is in the best shape to win his first yusho and only needs to win on the senshuraku. If EM7 Nushuzan should also win then both wrestlers would improve to 12-3, but Randomitsuki with his 8 point advantage, 112 to 104, over Nushuzan would easily win any tie-break. A win by Nushuzan and a loss by Randomitsuki would give Nushuzan the yusho. EM2 Heikotoriki who is one match off the pace at 10-4 and Nushuzan's opponent on the final day could pull into the title hunt with a win over Nushuzan and a loss by Randomituski, forcing a three way play-off, but would need to overcome a 6 point deficit to Randomituski. | | In Juryo, EJ10 Qijuryu, who is 11-3, could win the yusho outright with a victory on day 15. A loss by Qijuryu would force a playoff between himself and winner of the match between WJ2 Sekihiryu and EJ4 Kaiowaka who are both one match down at 10-4. WJ4 Kogaratsu, also at 10-4, could join the play-off with a senshuraku victory. In terms of total points, Sekihiryu has a slight point advantage with 108 followed by Qijuryu and Kaiowaka with 105 and one point from that is Kogaratsu at 104. | | Of the three divisions, the Makushita yusho picture is the easiest to draw out with co-leaders Wm24 Gibuten and Wm49 Toodemizu, who are both 12-2, facing each in a winner take all bout for the crown. | | Good luck to all in the yusho hunt. Also, good luck to Sekiwake Tosahayate who now needs one final victory to return to Ozeki in November!

Aki Basho 2009 - Day 13
| |
On day thirteen of the Aki Basho a mighty rumble has coursed through Sanyaku as Yokozuna Doitsuyama has been handed his third makekoshi in a row, ending a string of 24 tournaments as Grand Champion. Doitsuyama's reign as Yokozuna began in Kyushu 2005 with 190 wins (to date), an average of over 70% in 100 point bashos, and five jun-yusho's to his credit. Fortunately for Doitsuyama he gets a chance in November to regain his rank if he wins in double digits, however, for at least one tournament we will have no Yokozuna in Sumo Game. | | In Makunouchi action, EM7 Nushuzan improved to 11-2 to remain the sole leader. One match off the pace is Komosubi Randomitsuki at 10-3 and statistically alive are EM2 Heikotoriki, EM8 Kitahayate and EM13 Mimawari at 9-4. In Juryo, EJ4 Kaiowaka and EJ10 Qijuryu are neck and neck at 10-3. In Makushita, Wm49 Toodemizu continues to dominate at 12-1 with Wm24 Gibuten and Em75 Derosa staying close at 11-2.

In Juryo, leader EJ13 Kungliazuma fell to 9-3 after losing a tough match to EJ4 Kaiowaka. Kaiowaka along with WJ4 Kogaratsu and EJ10 Qijuryu join Kungliazuma for the lead going into the final three days of the basho. In Makushita, Wm49 Toodemizu continued his winning streak which now stands at nine to remain the sole leader at 11-1. Wm24 Gibuten and Em75 Derosa are within striking distance at 10-2.
