Wow! I think Hoshoryu was undone by the fusen and not having a bout (the bout) that he’d probably been preparing for ahead of the Basho. And however much I like him (H), he’s not quite worked out Aonishiki, as your insightful analysis showed.
Now toasting the winner with a glass of Shabo: it is a good time to be a supporter of the sport.
Thanks for all your daily work Tim: it has been a joy to follow!
Thanks for the great coverage! Love reading your recaps, analysis and takes on the tournament as a whole. Worth the subscription!
