Day11 vs Asashoryu (Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)
The point of this bout is whether Baruto holdAsashoryu's belt or not.
In the start,Baruto shifted to right to hold Asa's belt by right arm outside.
This was Baruto's first time to hold Asa's belt.
But the position of holding lead to Baruto's loose.
This position is called "TATEMITSU"
It means far grip position.
Baruto coul not pull but he tried to pull and gradually Baruto's body go upright because of his grip position.
Baruto made himself bad situation.
Then Asshoryu rushed forward.
I hope Baruto do not shift.

Day11 vs Kotoshogiku (Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)
Kotoshogiku is one of Ozeki candidates but he is not well in this tournament.
He scored 3 wins 7 losses.
Baruto looked lack of concentration.
Though he wins one more and gets 8 over wins(KACHI KOSHI) , he lost 3 after 7 wins.
Kotoshogiku cared Baruto's rush by shifting his body to left.
And Kotoshogiku pulled Baruto's right arm to in balance Baruto.

Day10 vs Goeido (Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)
Today's opponent is Maegashira #3 ranked Goeido.
Goeido was former Komusubi and he is very skillful.
I think Baruto's "Tachiai"(=start) was not well.
You can see his waist position was higher than one until yesterday.
I know yesterday's bout against Hakuho was Grand bout,so Baruto seems to be tired.
It was same reason that Hakuho was lost today against Harumafuji.
Baruto,do not think too much!

Day9 vs Hakuho (Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)
Today's final match is Yokozuna Hakuho vs Sekiwake Baruto.
Final match is called "MUSUBI no ICHIBAN" in Japanese.
All sumo fans concentrates on this MUSUBI no ICHIBAN from this morning.
Until yesterday,Hakuho marked 8 wins and Baruto marked 7 wins 1 loss.
Past fight result was Hakuho defeated Baruto 6 times but no losses.
Baruto is changing his sumo ability to fighting evenly against top wrestlers.
Yes,we know. Today is the day Baruto defeats Hakuho first time.
Oh SUMO mainly means grand sumo tournament.
But we call long and beautiful and power vs power sumo bout "Oh Sumo".
Today's "Musubi no ICHIBAN" was "Oh SUMO"!!!
Baruto made himself Yotsu style.
It was right arm outside left arm inside.
This was not a perfect Baruto's Yotsu style but Baruto could come to his desirable breast to breast position.
Yokozuna could not cope with Baruto easily in this position.
Both pulled each other.
No change and long bout.
I think Baruto should rush forward before long bout.
I guess Baruto fought a little bit safely.
Anyway Every sumo fan in Japan was surprised Baruto's improving.
Baruto! Please show your breast with proud.
You still keep chance to be a champion.

sekiwake BARUTO ×(UWATENAGE)○ HAKUHO yokozuna
Thank you for your answers to Questionnaire!
Totally 176 readers answered to
"How many wins will Baruto get in this tournament?"
Top answere was 10-11 (100-56%)
Today is mid day of this tournament.
He has to get 3or 4wins through 7 days to reach to 10-11wins.
Tomorrow opponet is Yokozuna Hakuho.
Rest opponent are Yokozuna Asashoryu,Ozeki Harumafuji in 2 days and lower rankes in 4days.
(Maybe sekiwake Aminishiki is injured today.he will be off.)
10-11 wins are realistic.
I hope 12 more in this tournament to step up to Ozeki in this year.

Day8 vs Chiyotaikai (Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)
Chiyotaikai is one of Ozeki and he has stayed Ozeki rank over 50 tournaments.

He marked 6 wins already with good pushing style.
Past bout was 4 win's Baruto and 3 win's Chiyotaikai.
Baruto won by way of YORIKIRI in the past and lost by way of Hikiotoshi.
This bout is tipical Yotu-Sumo vs Tuki-Sumo.
If Baruto grasp Chiyotaikai's belt ,maybe he will win.
I think he re-understood his Yotu-Sumo(=fight with grasping belt) after yesterday's bout against Kotooshu.
Today's bout is really splendid with showing his style.

Day7 vs Kotooshu (Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)
Kotooshu is Ozeki and he is from Bulgaria,203cm tall.
Baruto is Sekiwake and he is from Estonia,198cm tall.
Score until yesterday is Kotooshu 5wins 1 loss vs Baruto 6wins.
Both are from Europe and very tall and thought to be a star for future sumo and very good condition in this tournament.
I don't know why Baruto did not do his "YOTSU-SUMO"(=fight with grasping belt).
I think he thought he felt he lost if he did his style against big size Rikishi(=wrestler).
Today's bout result in two looser.
Because Kotooshu won by Hikiotoshi,he also could not express his Sumo soul.
Anyway,
Baruto! Please be patient.
You should be proud of your own style.

Day4 vs Kaio(Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)
Today's opponent is Ozeki Kaio who is 36 years old veteran but has scored 3 continuous wins from the first day.
Kaio's best style is left arm under right hand over which is same style as Baruto.
Baruto has not won against Kaio unti this tournament.
2008sep,2008may
Perfect win!
Baruto did not allow Kaio to be grasped by Kaio's right arm over.
But Baruto could grasp Kaio's belt by both arms (right hand over left hand under).
This was the point Baruto won.
After bout ,Baruto shook his head maybe because of some hurts around neck and left shoulder.
I guess Baruto needed full power over his limits.
In the interview after bout,he was asked "How distance of ability between upper rankers do you feel now?"
and he answered "I should have sef -confidence ".

Best Bout Harumafuji vs Toyonoshima (Day3 Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)
New Ozeki Harumafuji has already scored 2 losses.

Toyonoshima is one of candidates for next Ozeki,I think.
He is ranked Maegashira #1.
Past results between them is 14wins' Harumafuji and only 2 wins' Toyonoshima.
Perfect win,Toyonoshima!

Until yesterday,Baruto 2wins 0 losses vs Kisenosato 0wins 2 losses.
Referee judged Kisenosato's win but 4 judges raises their hand to confirm.
We call this confirmation "MONOIRI".
4 judges are former wrestler and they are in charge of judgement during tournament.

Day2 vs Yoshikaze(Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)
Today's opponent is Maegashira #2 ranker Yoshikaze.
Yoshikaze's gym is Oguruma-Beya which is same gym as Takekaze who fought with Baruto yesterday.
Oguruma-Beya's master is former Ozeki "KOTOKAZE" who fought during early 1980's.
Oguruma-Beya's Rikishi(=wrestler) has Kaze(=wind) in their names.
Yoshikaze means "Fair(=Yoshi) Wind(=Kaze)"
Baruto shook his neck after he won.
I know the reason.
I think he won but he lost,because this is not Baruto's way.
Baruto got right Uwate (=hand over) once but he was took off by Yoshikaze's waist shaking motion.
And Yoshikaze rushed.This was Yoshikaze's way.
Baruto knows his own Sumo style.
Japanese knows wins are not the only way in Sumo.
Yoshikaze's gym is Oguruma-Beya which is same gym as Takekaze who fought with Baruto yesterday.
Oguruma-Beya's master is former Ozeki "KOTOKAZE" who fought during early 1980's.
Oguruma-Beya's Rikishi(=wrestler) has Kaze(=wind) in their names.
Yoshikaze means "Fair(=Yoshi) Wind(=Kaze)"
Baruto shook his neck after he won.
I know the reason.

Day1 vs Takekaze(Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)
Happy New Year of 2009!
First day has just begun today, Jan11th.
Baruto is still ranked Sekiwake and starts fights on the road to Ozeki from today.
Takekaze is Maegashira #3 ranker.
His ring name(=Shiko Na) means "Powerful Wind"
Baruto's skill is improving.
The point of this bout was Baruto's left arm pushing.
Baruto pushed Takekaze's arm pit.
This is good way to weaken an opponent.
Good start,Baruto!!!

Hatsu-Basho(2009 Jan) Ranking
Hatsu means "The first".
Hatsu- Basho starts on Jan11 Sunday and ends on Jan26 Sunday.
Baruto is ranked at Sekiwake East.
Sekiwake ranker has a right to be Ozeki if he wins over 33wins through 3tournaments.
Baruto marked 9wins 6 losses in last tournament.
So I wish Baruto gets 10 more wins in this tournament.
