2024 Famous Sports Scenes from the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament On May 26th, Oh-no-sato won the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament for the first time!

The fastest V in the history of the tournament, seven matches after the first tournament.

Immediately after winning the championship, he looked relieved, saying, “I did it! I think my son was feeling a lot of pressure in his own way.

Nakamura Tomoyuki, the father of then-Xiaobushi Ohnosato, who won his first sumo tournament victory at the Summer Tournament in May, recalls, “He was leading the tournament with three defeats, but he was unable to win the championship.

He was leading with three losses at the end of the first day of the tournament. Oh-nosato defeated then Sekiwake Abi, who was trailing with four losses, by a pushout to win his first tournament championship. He became the fastest ever to win the championship in the first seven tournaments since his first appearance in the ring. At a press conference the next day, Ohnosato said, “I am happy to win, but I still have a rank above me.

My son likes sports spirit, which is rare in this day and age of Reiwa. He is moved when he sees high school baseball players and coaches sobbing after losing at Koshien. He also likes to watch “School☆Wars,” a rugby drama from the 1980s that he records at home. Perhaps because of this, he doesn’t complain much, no matter how hard it is for him. I tell him, ‘If you are going to do it, be the one and only rikishi,'” Nakamura said.

Ohnosato won his second championship at the Aki-no-Matsuri Tournament in September. He was promoted to ozeki in only nine days after his first bout, the earliest since the Showa era.
