To memorize this tournament as a good start of 2009 ,Baruto has to get victory today.



Every sumo fans are surprized with this bout.
Baruto lifted harumafuji 's left thigh by his right arm and also pulled Harumafuji's belt by his left arm.

Everybody re-noticed Baruto's power .

Baruto marked 9 wins 6 losses.
After 7 wins,Baruto lost his way.
But last 2 days victories lead Baruto to remember his style.

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.

sekiwake BARUTO ×(YORKIRI)○ ASASHORYU yokozuna

Baruto,please do exercise to make your waist position lower.

7wins 5 losses

Kotomituki decided to have off from today because of right ankle ligament injury.
So Hakuho won by opponent off.

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.
kotoshogiku knows Baruto well.

Sekiwake BARUTO ×(SUKUINAGE)○ KOTOSHOGIKU maegashira #1

Best Bout Hakuho vs Harumafuji (Day10 Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)

January 20, 2009

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!

I recieved 5 votes. Thank you very much!!!
1 vote to No.5
4 votes to No.9.

My conclusion is No.5(Kisenosato vs Takekaze).
please watch here.

You know why?
Because I write to Today's Best Bout archive about No.9 bout. "Hakuho vs Harumafuji".
Please read here.

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 is a pusher (Tuki-Sumo) .
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.

After bout,he was interviewed,
Announcer:Very strong,aren't you?
Baruto: Thank you very much.
A: You looked full of confidence in fighting.
B: I try to have self-confindence in fighting.
A: Did you have influence yesteday's loose?
B: I fiughtt and rush with minding Yesterday's result.
A; You will fight against Yokozun Hakuho tomorrow.
B:I haven't seen match schedule yet.
A: Sorry to tell you that. Is it OK?
B: Thank you very much.
(surrounder's laughing voice)
A: How do you fight?
B: I do fight with Yotu and rush forward as an usual.
A: You say still in "Yusho Arasoi"(=candidate for champion trophy)
B: Thank you very much.
A: Thank you very much.
This is Baruto defeated Ozeki Chiyotaikai.

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.

sekiwake BARUTO ×(HIKIOTOSHI)○ KOTOOSHU ozeki

Baruto still keeps 1 loss.
