Gonoyama hammered Aonishiki 😮
Ao’ had no chanceCannonbaaaaaaaall Gonoyamaaaaaaa!
Just a good tachi-ai, from Gonoyama. Aonishiki let someone get lower than him.
Yes, and looks like Gonoyama got his hands in Aonishiki’s underarms too, and was able to leverage that to lift him up and back.
Oh yeah. It was the same Oho strat from a basho or two ago, but Gonoyama did it at Gonoyama speed.
The funny thing is, I only ever knew Gonoyama from being the guy sitting on the sideline last tourney, looking like a guilty schoolboy being called up to the Principal’s office. (I think he was there to be part of the closing ceremony?)
Tobizaru picks up a quick slap down against Asasuiryu after the initial tachiai clash.
Tokihayate gets double unders off the lines and drives Asakoryu back who circles and tries some tsuppari but Toki goes for a big pull down that sends Asa flying.
…got home late and the stream I was on got pulled while I was watching and it’s not on NHK yet so I’ll check back in later
There’s some killer matches, don’t wanna spoiler them and luckily I gotta go now too!
p.s. DonDon is streaming ALL matches now: https://www.youtube.com/@dondonsumo2/videos
DonDon’s new graphics is a style salad. Whole thing is a mess.
lel I hadn’t noticed. I think he’s still working on the new format tho, over the last couple days I’ve seen various changes.
