Breddy gud basho, was this one.

Congrats to ozeki Kotozakura for his yusho! It wasn't a superb win for Hoshoryu kinda slipped, but still, sometimes if you can hold yourself, that could be enough.
I expected more from Onosato but such is life, I'm sure next time he'll try harder. I also hoped Wakatakakage has more say in who will be the champ. Oh well.
Hiradoumi closed a bad tournament, so he's gonna get relegated by a lot. He's young and I'm sure he'll be around the top in a couple of bashos.

Down in juryo, Kinbozan could get his award. The last day he faced Aonishiki, the other Ukrainian who performed very well on his first basho in juryo. Perhaps in January he could get a result that will promote him to makuuchi! I think he probably won't but who knows.

I have the award ceremony and yusho interview, plus the full makuuchi dohyo-iri (ring-entering ceremony). Gonna upload both here.
