Join us for a thrilling day at the Official Sumo Tournaments, known as "basho," held at Ryōguku Kokugikan, the national sumo stadium in Tokyo. On the 9th day of the major sumo championships in May 2023, we witnessed intense battles, surprising upsets, and historic moments.
In this video, we capture the essence of sumo with highlights from some of the most exciting matches. From powerful throws to skillful footwork, sumo's timeless sport offers a captivating experience for both newcomers and hardcore fans. Witness the colossal sumo wrestlers stepping into the ring, displaying their strength and technique.
The standout bout of the day was between Meisei and Terunofuji. In an awe-inspiring display of strength, Meisei delivered a forceful charge at the start, unsettling the formidable Yokozuna, Terunofuji. With relentless thrusts, Meisei maneuvered Terunofuji towards the edge and ultimately claimed victory, handing Terunofuji his first loss of the competition. This momentous win secured Meisei his kachi-koshi and marked his first kinboshi (gold star) in his career. It was a remarkable achievement for the 27-year-old wrestler.
Other notable matches included Asanoyama's victory over Ryuden, Takakeisho's surprising loss to Nishikigi, and Kiribayama's triumph over Daieisho, reminiscent of their intense showdown in the previous championship. The clash between Wakamotoharu and Hoshoryu showcased Wakamotoharu's defensive skills as he expertly defended against Hoshoryu's judo throw, sending him crashing to the ground.
Join us as we relive the excitement and intensity of sumo wrestling, capturing the sumo wrestlers' entrances, the fierce fights, and the traditional stick-waving ceremony that concludes the tournament day. Immerse yourself in the rich history and tradition of this national sport, where every tournament showcases the dedication, skill, and spirit of the sumo wrestlers.

I was lucky enough to see Chiyonofuji, one of the greatest Yokozunas ever, may his soul R.I.P., wrestle Konishki, the immense Hawaiian Ozeki back in 1985 in Tokyo. Sumo is AWESOME.

Wow, what a difference from western competitions. All of them being around the ring together, as one unit. And also, simultaneously, all of them having their own unique perspective.

At 50 years of age I watched a streaming show about SUMO, a sport that has been around for 1500 years that I never thought about watching. The rules are simple and the honor amongst contestants is absolute. Such a joy to watch.
