Last Saturday, we went to Osaka to the spring Sumo tournament. It was very exciting. There was one controversial bout where the main judge couldn't tell who hit the ground first, so they made them have a do-over! My 2 favorites fought each other in the next to last bout of the day. Asashoryu has been the reigning champ for quite a while, so even though he was behind in the tournament, I never thought he'd lose to Kotooshu--but he did. Here are some stills of the match. When Kotooshu pushed him out of the ring, the audience began to yell and throw their seat pillows towards the ring. The tournament winner was Hakuho, who never lost a single match throughout the 15 day basho. (As usual, the photos are in reverse order)
