Notable Manuevers
Fusen. Kagayaki gets the first freebie win in Makuuchi for Kyushu, after Chiyotairyu's sudden retirement. Chiyotairyu will be opening a restaurant in Tokyo, so don't expect to see the sideburns in Oyakata blue.
Match of the Day
Maegashira #1 East Takayasu versus Komusubi #1 West Kiribayama
These two keep showing up here, and today was a demonstration why. Takayasu had a full-force shoulder blast, but Kiribayama was ready for it. This quickly turned into one of those pushing/shoving matches built around attempting and blocking throws. Then Takayasu got sideways, Kiribayama charged, Takayasu reestablished himself, and they established the kind of awkward double grip that only these two seem to enjoy. That led to more movement around the dohyo until Takayasu he's still sumo's marathon man with sukuinage.
