Wakatakakage's withdrawal is a major blow to the Nagoya basho, but the tournament still offers plenty of intrigue, from a disrupted title race to the debut of highly touted English prospect Nicholas Tarasenko. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/07/08/sumo/nagoya-basho-wakatakakage-tarasenko/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #wakatakakage #julygrandsumotournament #nicholastarasenko

Finally catching up on the last few days of the #Sumo with the July #Basho! 🤯 #Takenosho's victory over #Terunofuji was 🔥, pushing the tournament to the final day with no clear winner. But #Wakatakakage's 11 wins after his knee injury? That's what I call a comeback! (He's my favorite rikishi, so maybe I'm a bit biased 😉).
