Here are the quick results from today’s Day 7 of the September 2022 Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozaun, J-Juryo
Makuuchi (Top Tier):
Hiradoumi (M16) beat Chiyomaru (J1)
Terutsuyoshi (M15) beat Mitoryu (M16)
Chiyoshoma (M14) beat Ichiyamamoto (M13)
Ryuden (M12) beat Tsurugisho (M15)
Yutakayama (M14) beat Chiyotairyu (M11)
Kotoshoho (M11) beat Oho (M13)
Nishikifuji (M10) beat Okinoumi (M12)
Kotoeko (M9) beat Myogiryu (M9)
Hokutofuji (M8) beat Takanosho (M10)
Tochinoshin (M8) beat Wakamotoharu (M6)
Sadanoumi (M5) beat Onosho (M7)
Takarafuji (M5) beat Aoiyama (M7)
Takayasu (M4) beat Endo (M6)
Tobizaru (M1) beat Meisei (M2)
Kotonowaka (M2) beat Daieisho (S)
Midorifuji (M1) beat Hoshoryu (S)
Wakatakakage (S) beat Tamawashi (M3)
Kiribayama (K) beat Mitakeumi (O)
Nishigiki (M4) beat Shodai (O)
Takakeisho (O) beat Ura (M3)
Terunofuji (Y) beat Ichinojo (K)
Leader: Hokutofuji (7-0). This means he can clinch a winning record and promotion tomorrow. Abi is going to become the first likely demotion tomorrow as he remains absent due to injuries. He would miss his 8th match tomorrow, and absent days are treated as losses. There is another Kinboshi chance tomorrow as Terunofuji’s opponent is Nishikigi. Nishikigi has one career victory over a Yokozuna, it came back in January 2019 when he defeated Kakuryu.
Juryo:
Kitanowaka (J11) beat Takakento (J14)
Tochimaru (J13) beat Chiyosakae (J11)
Tokushoryu (J10) beat Gonoyama (J12)
Shimazuumi (J10) beat Tochimusashi (J14)
Daishoho (J8) beat Kinbozan (J12)
Daiamami (J8) beat Oshoma (J13)
Kaisho (J9) beat Enho (J7)
Hokuseiho (J9) beat Churanoumi (J6)
Kotokuzan (J7) beat Akua (J6)
Atamifuji (J3) beat Hidenoumi (J5)
Azumaryu (J2) beat Bushozan (J4)
Chiyonokuni (J2) beat Tohakuryu (J3)
Kagayaki (J4) beat Shimanoumi (J1)
Leader: Churanoumi, Hokuseiho, Tochimusashi (6-1)
Asanoyama Watch: Despite facing a fellow 3-0 wrestler, the former Ozeki still easily picked up his 11th straight win against Dewanoryu, clinching a promotion and winning record while retaining a share of the Makushita lead. There is still a chance he could promote to Juryo in November if he goes 7-0 and wins the championship, but recent history suggests he may need one more winning tournament in Makushita as his current rank is Makushita 15. Since he had his 4th match today, no match tomorrow.
Because tomorrow is the halfway point, fans outside Japan can watch 50 minutes of LIVE coverage tomorrow on NHK World Japan beginning at 1:10 AM PT/4:10 AM ET, which will feature the last few top tier matches. NHK World Japan is available on participating cable/satellite providers, but you can also watch on their website and mobile/smart TV apps FOR FREE! There is no signup/login necessary.
