Lower tier notes:
Promotion Day got underway and in the Makushita, 3 have clinched promotions with 4-0 records and stay atop the lead pending tomorrow’s results when more will join them. Chiyomaru is among them at Ms3 so one more win may be enough to get him back to Juryo (2 more wins will do it for sure). In the Sandanme, 4 are 4-0 so far. In the Jonidan, Enho clinched a second straight promotion with a win today and is among 8 currently 4-0, and will have a chance to move up to the Sandanme in November (one more win should do it for sure, any more wins would help move him up higher and improve his chances of returning to Makushita in January). Only one of the 3 unbeatens in the Jonokuchi was in action today, which was Aoifuji and he won to go 4-0.
Reminder: NHK World Japan will have 50 minutes of LIVE top tier coverage tomorrow beginning at 1:10 AM PT/4:10 AM ET.
UPDATE: Per the latest news update today from reliable English language sumo YouTuber Chris Sumo, Onosho is done for the tournament. Various right knee, ankle and foot issues. But the one win he managed before withdrawal will keep him at Juryo in November. Barely (meaning J13 or J14). As for Myogiryu, the only way he could appear this tournament will be on the Final Day. Expect demotion to Makushita unless he opts to retire and cash in his elder stock. Also, the Chiyosakae withdrawal on Day 4 was due to a torn thigh and triceps. Likely 2 weeks. Tournament almost certainly over. Will be demoted back to Makushita again.
