On the 22nd, the first grand sumo tournament will be held on the 22nd, and Ozeki Takakeisho, who has three losses, and Kotokatsuho, who will win the championship, will face off at the end of the day.
On the 21st of the 14th day from first place, Takakeisho and Kotokatsuho won and kept 3 losses, while Abusaki lost from the flat curtain and retreated to 4 losses.
On the 22nd of Chiakiraku, Ozeki Takakage and Hiramaku Kotokatsuho will face each other directly at the end.
This will be the first time since the 1949 Summer Tournament, when the 15-day, 1-place tournament system was established, that Hiramaku wrestlers will compete for victory against opponents of the same star in Chiakiraku.
This is the first match between the two since first place two years ago, and Takakeisho has won the last two matches.
For the first time since the Showa era, only one person participated in the rank of Ozeki or higher from day one, and Takakeisho has accumulated victories focusing on his specialty, pushing sumo.
Although they lost two matches in a row in the final leg, afterwards they calmly looked at their opponents in sumo and fought for the championship.
Like Takakeisho, I would like to find an opportunity to win with a sudden strike and show my ozeki’s determination.
If Takakeisho wins, it will be his third victory since the November tournament three years ago.
On the other hand, Kotokatsuho, who is aiming for his first victory, hit hard in the tachiai and took a dominant position, and won again and again.
The point seems to be whether or not Ozeki can be stopped by standing at the end of the last step.
If Kotokatsuho wins, it will be the first time in history that Hiramaku wrestlers have won four consecutive places since last year’s Nagoya tournament.
