The Japan TimesOnosato 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
Onosato in May claimed sumo’s biggest prize just one year after making his professional debut.

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

NHK World put out a highlights video from the March tournament and in that last bout you can really see #takerufuji is still favouring that injured right foot, i mean, i was kind of wondering whether i was over-reading that but I don't think so
and yet he wins anyway, becoming the first rookie in 110 years to win the emperor's cup
it's an achievement f'reals regardless but doing it with a win on the last day _with an injured foot_ is just... wow
