Day15 vs Hakuho(Nagoya-Basho 2011)

Harumafuji has already decided this tournament title of Makuuchi division Champion.

But today our interest is ,,,,of course,
Baruto vs Hakuho.

Baruto has defeated Yokozuna Hakuho once.
And Yokozuna this tournament is not real.
Hakuho challenged straight 8 champion of thournament but his challenge was stopped by yesterdays lost by Harumafuji.

We think Baruto has chance to overcome Yokozuna's wall.

Check in point
Baruto succeeded in staring and grip Yokozuna's belt in its best position.


Ozeki BARUTO w(UWATENAGE)l HAKUHO Yokozuna

Baruto reached to 11 wins!!

To promote to Yokozuna, Ozkei has to get 2 straight champions or sub champion.
Harumafuji
2011 may 10-5
2011 july 14-1
2011 sep Harumfuji needs champion title or sub champion with over 14 wins because of may tournament was only 10 wins.
Former Yokozuna Takanohana suggested "over 14 wins are must" after final day.
14 wins are very high condition.

11 wins are very important.Baruto got 11 wins.
As you know, the condition of promotion to Ozeki is 33 wins in 3 tournaments.
So 11 wins and defeating Yokozuna give a good impression for promotion to Yokozuna.
Anyway Baruto tried to change his starting style(not to push) and grip right otuside.
I think to promote to Yokozuna ,to brash up this tactic is good.

Day14 vs Kotooshu (Hatsu-Basho 2011 Jan)

Sorry for updating late.

Day14 Nagoya-Basho,our baruto meets Ozeki Kotooshu.
Kotooshu has faced "Kadoban"(=if he lost over 8,he falls down to sekiwake rank).
But Kotooshu has already passed 9 wins after day13.

Before Baruto's promotion to ozeki,we did not have a good mempory of win to Kotooshu.
How is today?



Kotooshu this tournament returns to basic.
This give him a good result.
"Maemitus"(=grip front part of belt) is very effective.
Baruto today was uprighted by Kotooshu's "Maemitsu".

Thank you,Ozeki Kaio.

Day9 vs Kisenosato (Nagoya-Basho 2011 July)

Day9 Baruto meets Kisenosato.

Kisenosato is fomous for breaking Yokozuna Hakuho straight wins.

Baruto this tournament has tried to get outside grip after pushing start.

Today Baruto also tried to grip but he missed and changed his tactics to pulling.

I think light pushing start and to grip outside is not bad.

Pulling is sometimes thought bad habit.

But most important is to win now.

Day3 vs Kyokutenho (Nagoya-Basho 2011 Jily)

Grand Sumo Tournament Nagoya Basho Day3.

Baruto is perfect after day2.

First day vs Goeido:won by Tsuridashi.

Day2 vs Yoshikaze : won by Uwatedashinage.

And day3 Baruto meets Kyokutenho.

Kyokutenho is not a tricky wrestler.

Baruto has not been defeated by Kyokutenho for about 2 years.

It is the standard move to rush forward when opponent does "Makikaea(=outside to insaide grip)".

Todays Baruto did this standard move when Kyokutenho di "Makikae".

Very quick response!!

3 wins!!!

Day2 vs Yoshikaze (Nagoya-Basho 2011 July)

Day1 vs Goeido (Nagoya-Basho 2011 July)

Grand Sumo Tornament Nagoya Basho Day1.

Our Baruto meets Komusubi Goeido.

Goeido 4wins to Baruto 6 wins were past result.

How do you think first day bout?

I think Baruto's new tactics was "Hari-Dashi".

When he started,Baruto slapped Goeido's cheek.

This tactics sometimes makes opponent lost his rushing power.

Baruto gripped outside but his waist position was still high.

I have mentioned this high waist position matter.

But first day's win was the best result.

Baruto!! Go,Baruo,go!!

Ozeki BARUTO ○(TSURIDASHI)× GOEIDO Komusubi

1win!!

Today we have first day

Hi!
Hope you are well!

May tournament was a technical eaxamination.
And July tournament (@Nagoya) is a new born grand sumo tournament.

All sumo fans around the world has been longing for today.

Our Baruto and other sumo wrestlers have trained much for today.

The points of this touranmet are

Hakuho is the nearest to Emperor's Cup but Hakuho was not Hakuho in May.
So other wrestler have chances to beat Yokozuna.
Who defeats Yokozuna?

Kaisei can show his sumo style for top rankers or not.

Kotoshogiku can be a next Ozeki candidate or not.

Kotooshu overcomes his "Kadoban" or not.

And our Baruto can ride on wave or not.
Baruto had showed his good sumo when he could concentrate and not think much...
I hope Baruto gets his first Emperor's cup in this tournament.

Let's enjoy Sumo and fight with Baruto for 15days!!!

Chuchai

Snow Leopard name is "Baruto"

I hope you are well.

Nagoya basho will start in the middle of July.
I want to share new born Sumo and Baruto activities in this blog.

I got a big news from my friend Max.

Tere, Chuchai!
I hope now when sumo troubled times are over (I hope) we will have nice tournament in coming 2 weeks.
I decided to send you one of the latest and a bit „yellow“ news that Tallinn zoo decided to name the new-born snow leopard cub „Baruto“ - http://mcaf.ee/mvxr3 is Estonian language news about that.
Maybe it is interesting to mention in your blog as well.
All the best! And if you will be in Sumo hall – support Baruto from my side as well! Hope he will have good sumo and tournament! One day he will hold the Emperor’s Cup at the end of basho!

I want to meet this pretty Baruto in the future!!
