#terunofuji — Public Fediverse posts

Why is there always so little surprise, but inevitably so much anger, when violence scandals break out in sumo? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/03/05/sumo/violence-in-sumo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #terunofuji #japansumoassociation #hakunofuji

Following an opening day rife with upsets, it appeared that we were in for another one of sumo’s wild tournaments. Things have settled down since, but the field remains wide open. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/01/15/sumo/new-year-basho-opening-days/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #newyeargrandsumotournament #hoshoryu #terunofuji #kotozakura

The first sumo tournament of 2025 will feature returning yokozuna Terunofuji fighting to extend his career and two ozeki battling to reach the sport’s highest rank, among many other storylines. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/01/10/sumo/new-year-basho-preview/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #newyearbasho #kotozakura #hoshoryu #terunofuji #onosato #newyeargrandsumotournament

During the Yokozuna Deliberation Council's practice session earlier this week, Terunofuji’s latent power, but also his physical decline, were on full display. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/01/08/sumo/terunofuji-onosato-yokozuna-deliberation-council-session/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #terunofuji #onosato #newyeargrandsumotournament #japansumoassociation

Onosato is sumo's new dominant force, but Takerufuji might have something to say about that as he works his way back from injury. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/10/02/sumo/takerufuji-onosato-challenger/ #sumo #terunofuji #takerufuji #onosato

Morgen endlich wieder #Sumo
Aki Basho aber leider wieder ohne #Yokozuna #Terunofuji

Glaube nicht, dass er noch lange machen wird mit der Häufigkeit an Verletzungen an seinen Knien. Schade

Whether it’s Real Madrid or the Dodgers, few things in sport divides opinion among fans more than the creation of a super team. That's true in sumo too, where Isegahama now boasts a few of the sport's most promising young wrestlers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/04/03/sumo/isegahama-super-teams/ #sumo #hakuoho #terunofuji #takerufuji #isegahama #miyaginostable

Yokozuna Terunofuji fell to his third straight defeat at the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament on Friday as the highly touted Onosato and Takerufuji kept their perfect records to share the lead after six days. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/03/15/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-loses-again/ #sumo #bashoreports #terunofuji #onosato #takerufuji #springgrandsumotournament

Following an opening day of upsets, big names continued to fall at the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament on Monday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/03/11/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-spring-sumo-second-day/ #sumo #bashoreports #springgrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama #atamifuji

Yokozuna Terunofuji, whose strength, size and resourcefulness have allowed him to outlast a legion of opponents over his career, lost the kind of long battle he usually wins Sunday, the first day of the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/03/10/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-day-one-defeat/ #sumo #bashoreports #terunofuji #nishikigi

Terunofuji is still the top dog, but the main challenge to his title aspirations is most likely to come from the ozeki ranks during the Spring Basho in Osaka. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/03/08/sumo/spring-sumo-tournament-preview/ #sumo #springgrandsumotournament #terunofuji #kirishima #hoshoryu #kotonowaka #daieisho

Terunofuji is determined to capture his 10th championship, an unofficial benchmark used to distinguish historically great yokozuna, at the Spring Basho in Osaka. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/02/26/sumo/yokozuna-10th-title-osaka/ #sumo #terunofuji #springgrandsumotournament

In #sumo, #Terunofuji won his 9th championship. He'll probably drop out of the next few tournaments and come back to win the Aki Basho.
After seeing the last two days, I doubt #Kirishima will ever make it to yokozuna. He'll be like a #Takakeisho, just healthier. That's not a bad thing. But yokozuna? No.
Congratulations to #Kotonowaka on his promotion to ozeki. He is definitely yokozuna material. I see Koto and #Hoshoryu being the next big yokozuna rivalry, with maybe #Onosato joining them.

Lone yokozuna Terunofuji claimed his ninth top-division title Sunday by defeating joint leader Kotonowaka in a thrilling championship playoff at the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/01/28/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-wins-new-year-basho/?utm_content=buffer41c15&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #terunofuji #newyeargrandsumotournament #kotonowaka

Terunofuji, who played the returning conqueror in May, began his pursuit of a ninth career championship with a no-nonsense win over komusubi Abi at the Nagoya Basho. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/07/09/sumo/basho-reports/nagoya-basho-day1-terunofuji-sekiwake/?utm_content=buffer83ffd&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #nagoyagrandsumotournament #terunofuji #daieisho #hoshoryu #wakamotoharu

The Mongolian-born yokozuna heads into the final weekend of the 15-day tournament at Ryogoku Kokugikan with the outright lead at 12-1. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/26/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-beats-asanomaya-basho/?utm_content=buffer419ec&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama #kiribayama

The lone yokozuna finished Day 12 at Ryogoku Kokugikan alone on the top rung of the leaderboard at 11-1. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/25/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-takes-sole-lead/?utm_content=bufferc5835&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama

Competing in the top flight for the first time since May 2021 due to a lengthy suspension for violating coronavirus rules, Asanoyama handed fellow title challenger and No. 6 maegashira Meisei his third loss. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/24/sumo/basho-reports/summer-basho-day-11-asanoyama/?utm_content=bufferca112&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama

"I don't remember much," Meisei said. "The yokozuna is big, and attacking him from the side was something I had in mind. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/22/sumo/meisei-beats-yokozuna-terunofuji/?utm_content=buffer08d6f&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #sumo #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #meisei

Kotoshoho initially succeeded in keeping Terunofuji off his belt, but the yokozuna maintained his forward momentum to push out the rank-and-filer. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/21/sumo/basho-reports/summer-basho-day8-terunofuji-kotoshoho/?utm_content=buffer90a64&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #kotoshoho

Yokozuna Terunofuji and former ozeki Asanoyama, each making a kind of comeback at the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament, continued to look unbeatable Saturday as each improved to 7-0. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/20/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-asanoyama-dominance-continues/?utm_content=buffer59c2c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama

Terunofuji, a seven-time Emperor's Cup winner, has so far dispelled concerns about his health at the 15-day meet. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/18/sumo/basho-reports/yokozuna-terunofuji-remains-unbeaten/?utm_content=bufferb2a13&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #takakeisho

Terunofuji, who missed all of the last three tournaments following knee surgeries in October, was cautious in dispatching tricky No. 3 maegashira Tobizaru. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/17/sumo/basho-reports/summer-basho-day4/?utm_content=buffer0ffa3&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama

Terunofuji briefly grabbed Endo by the right arm and spun the No. 2 maegashira around before following it up with an attack toward the edge of the raised ring in a push-out win at Ryogoku Kokugikan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/16/sumo/basho-reports/summer-basho-2023-day3/?utm_content=bufferd38a5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #endo #terunofuji #kiribayama

Returning from a prolonged injury layoff at the 15-day tournament, Terunofuji stayed perfect by brushing aside No. 1 maegashira Abi. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/15/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-remains-perfect-sumo/?utm_content=buffer4d2d5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #takakeisho

Terunofuji could not halt the opening charge of komusubi Shodai, but the grand champion had enough leeway to execute a right beltless arm throw near the edge of the raised ring at Ryogoku Kokugikan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/14/sumo/basho-reports/summer-basho-day1-terunofuji-kiribayama/?utm_content=buffer47466&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #kiribayama

The Summer Grand Sumo Tournament, which gets underway this Sunday, sees yokozuna Terunofuji return to honbasho action after an absence of almost eight months. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/12/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-summer-sumo-basho/?utm_content=bufferdd21a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama #hokuseiho #kiribayama

In addition to recovering from surgery on both knees last October, yokozuna Terunofuji has been dealing with diabetes, but says he'll be back for the upcoming Summer Basho. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/04/18/sumo/terunofuji-may-basho-return/?utm_content=buffer95c47&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bufferapp.com&utm_campaign=buffer #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #sumo #sports

It’s less than a day to #sumo. I cannot understand how you are all so calm about this. With #Terunofuji out, it’s anyone’s #basho!! Heck, even #Takakeisho or (ha ha) #Shodai could take the yusho.

Imagine an ozeki winning a championship. Pff. I’ve heard of such things but it’s been so long… In fact, the last time an ozeki took the yusho, it was Terunofuji!! Back in May 2021.
