#autumngrandsumotournament — Public Fediverse posts

Onosato's first title in a year provided the biggest boost of the September basho, but strong performances from Aonishiki and Fujinokawa also pointed toward a compelling future at the top of sumo. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/09/30/sumo/autumn-basho-onosato-aonishiki-fujinokawa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #onosato #aonishiki #fujinokawa #autumngrandsumotournament

Injury concerns threatened to overshadow the autumn tournament, but Onosato and Aonishiki have quickly put those fears to rest as sumo's top names make strong starts in Tokyo. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/09/16/sumo/autumn-tournament-onosato-aonishiki/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #autumngrandsumotournament #aonishiki #onosato #kirishima

With Hoshoryu out and questions surrounding the fitness of Onosato and Aonishiki, Kirishima has emerged as the man to beat as the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament prepares to get underway. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/09/11/sumo/autumn-sumo-tournament-preview/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #japansumoassociation #autumngrandsumotournament #kirishima #onosato #hoshoryu #aonishiki

At just 25 years old, and already significantly better than every other wrestler in the sport, the only question that remains for Onosato is how many Emperor’s Cups he will win. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/09/29/sumo/yokozuna-onosato-sumo-king/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #onosato #aonishiki #hoshoryu #autumngrandsumotournament

Onosato and Hoshoryu are off to fast starts at the Autumn Basho, raising fans hopes of seeing a title-deciding yokozuna showdown on Day 15 for the first time in five years. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/09/17/sumo/yokozuna-autumn-basho-good-start/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #onosato #hoshoryu #autumngrandsumotournament

ODDS and EVENS | Sumo Wrestler Kotoshoho Aiming for Sustained Success

Every sumo wrestler wants to ascend to the top. Or remain there if he’s already reached the pinnacle of his chosen sport. For instance, Kotoshoho, who celebrated his 26th birthday on August…

Professional sumo is one of the harshest environments in sports. So what would drive a wrestler to bounce around in its bottom-tier nonsalaried divisions for years? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/09/10/sumo/sumo-lower-rank-journeymen/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #autumngrandsumotournament #makushita #sandanme #shoketsu #hakuyo

Ahead of professional sumo's highly anticipated return to Europe, the release of the September rankings confirms who will be on the plane to London. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/09/03/sumo/london-sumo-banzuke/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #london #uk #japansumoassociation #autumngrandsumotournament

Onosato was so dominant over the course of the Autumn Basho that it's hard to see who can stop him from adding even more silverware in the coming tournaments. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/09/22/sumo/basho-reports/onosato-wins-autumn-basho/ #sumo #bashoreports #onosato #autumngrandsumotournament

It would take a major collapse for Onosato not to claim the Autumn Basho to give him a second Emperor’s Cup in three tournaments and seal promotion to ozeki. Promotion to yokozuna could soon follow. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/09/18/sumo/onosato-technical-analysis/ #sumo #onosato #autumngrandsumotournament

With the mercury still hitting 35 C in Tokyo, temperatures in the capital have mirrored the heat being generated inside Ryogoku Kokugikan, with some top-notch bouts and a bit of controversy making for an eventful opening. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/09/11/sumo/autumn-basho-hot-start/ #sumo #autumngrandsumotournament #onosato #kotozakura #takakeisho

The big question heading into the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament is whether fast-rising talent Onosato can make a run at a second Emperor’s Cup and earn promotion to the sport’s second highest rank of "ozeki." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/09/06/sumo/autumn-basho-preview/ #sumo #onosato #autumngrandsumotournament #terunofuji

Held the day before each of sumo’s six yearly tournaments gets underway, the "dohyō matsuri" is a solemn, Shinto-style ceremony that is meant to purify the ring. And there are plenty of rules. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/09/05/sumo/sumo-ring-purification-ceremony/ #sumo #autumngrandsumotournament #japansumoassociation #tokyo #ryogokukokugikan

Ozeki Takakeisho muscled his way into a share of the lead at the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament by defeating sole overnight leader Atamifuji on Friday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/22/sumo/basho-reports/autumn-basho-day-13/?utm_content=bufferb439e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #atamifuji #autumngrandsumotournament #takakeisho

Eyes are on Atamifuji for a potential record at the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament, with the 21-year-old already having won 10 of his first 11 bouts. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/21/sumo/sumo-atamifuji-autumn-tournament/?utm_content=buffer7e7bc&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #sumo #autumngrandsumotournament #atamifuji

Wrestling in sumo's top flight for the second time in his career after going 4-11 in November, Atamifuji has competed in the second-tier jūryō division in the past four grand tournaments. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/20/sumo/basho-reports/autumn-basho-day11-atamifuji-takayasu/?utm_content=bufferc60cf&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #atamifuji #takayasu #autumngrandsumotournament

Wrestling in sumo's top flight for the second time in his career after going 4-11 in November, Atamifuji has competed in the second-tier jūryō division in the past four grand tournaments. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/20/soccer/autumn-basho-day11-atamifuji-takayasu/?utm_content=buffer8a1b9&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #soccer #atamifuji #takayasu #autumngrandsumotournament

Meeting for the first time, the two frontrunners clashed heavily at the opening and traded blows before Atamifuji knocked Takayasu off balance and pushed him to the clay. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/19/sumo/basho-reports/autumn-basho-day10-atamifuji/?utm_content=buffera40a0&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #atamifuji #autumngrandsumotournament #takayasu

Former ozeki Takayasu secures winning record on Day 9 at Autumn Basho https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/18/sumo/basho-reports/takayasu-secures-winning-mark/?utm_content=buffer4a579&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #takayasu #atamifuji #autumngrandsumotournament

The two maegashira moved within a victory of securing a winning record in the 15-day meet at Ryogoku Kokugikan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/17/sumo/basho-reports/autumn-basho-day8-takayasu-atamifuji/?utm_content=buffer5e5f6&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #autumngrandsumotournament #takayasu #atamifuji

Fellow kadoban ozeki Kirishima was the only member of the trio at sumo's second-highest rank to add to his win total. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/17/sumo/basho-reports/autumn-basho-day7-takakeisho/?utm_content=buffer8fec0&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #autumngrandsumotournament #takakeisho #takayasu #atamifuji

Hoshoryu outgunned Asanoyama in a battle of current and former ozeki to improve to 3-3 at the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament on Friday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/15/sumo/hoshoryu-defeats-asanoyama-basho/?utm_content=bufferc8d40&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #hoshoryu #asanoyama #takakeisho #autumngrandsumotournament

Demotion-threatened kadoban ozeki Takakeisho, who needs eight wins this month to stay at the sport's second-highest rank, defeated Abi to earn his fourth win of the tournament. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/14/sumo/takakeisho-eight-way-lead-sumo/?utm_content=bufferee1f7&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #takakeisho #autumngrandsumotournament

After defeating all three ozeki to open the grand tournament, top-ranked maegashira Hokutofuji saw his perfect start derailed by sekiwake Daieisho on Wednesday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/13/sumo/basho-reports/autumn-basho-day4-hokutofuji-loses/?utm_content=buffer1e578&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #hokutofuji #onosho #kinbozan #atamifuji #autumngrandsumotournament

As Hokutofuji tore through the ozeki trio early at the Autumn Basho, international viewers had a chance to watch along with veteran sumo commentator Hiro Morita. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/13/sumo/autumn-basho-hokutofuji-english-streaming/?utm_content=buffer85917&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #sumoprimetime #hokutofuji #autumngrandsumotournament #hiromorita #japansumoassociation

Kirishima wrenched Hokutofuji off balance before the 31-year-old former komusubi regained his footing and forced the demotion-threatened kadoban ozeki over the straw. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/12/sumo/basho-reports/autumn-basho-day3-hokutofuji/?utm_content=buffer6968b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #hokutofuji #kirishima #autumngrandsumotournament

A day after upsetting Takakeisho, No. 1 maegashira Hokutofuji improved to 2-0 by slapping down Hoshoryu for his second straight win over an ozeki. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/11/sumo/basho-reports/hokutofuji-stun-ozeki-hoshoryu/?utm_content=buffer1c1f0&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #hokutofuji #hoshoryu #autumngrandsumotournament

The 24-year-old Hoshoryu, who earned promotion to ozeki after claiming his maiden Emperor's Cup in Nagoya, kept his cool in a tough opening-day battle with former sekiwake Abi. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/10/sumo/basho-reports/autumn-basho-day1-hoshoryu/?utm_content=buffer2d410&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #autumngrandsumotournament #hoshoryu #takakeisho #kirishima

If Hoshoryu lifts the Emperor’s Cup in his ozeki debut, it would put him in prime contention for a quick promotion to yokozuna following the November meet. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/08/sumo/hoshoryu-autumn-basho-yokozuna/?utm_content=buffer9b1b6&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #autumngrandsumotournament #terunofuji #hoshoryu #kirishima

The 31-year-old Terunofuji, who was forced out of action on Day 4 of the July tournament, has been unable to train without pain. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/08/sumo/terunofuji-withdraw-sumo-tournament/?utm_content=bufferc94bb&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #terunofuji #autumngrandsumotournament

The talented 20-year-old Hakuoho made a stunning top-tier makuuchi division debut at the Nagoya tournament in July, claiming both the Fighting Spirit and Technique awards https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/09/04/sumo/hakuoho-autumn-sumo-injury/?utm_content=buffer07b3e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #hakuoho #autumngrandsumotournament
