Rien n’est joué
Le maegashira Tobizaru a produit aujourd’hui le plus gros bouleversement depuis le début du tournoi en infligeant à Takakeisho sa première défaite.
Le maegashira n°4 a fait sensation et a fait preuve d’une force et d’une dextérité impressionnantes pour déjouer le puissant ozeki lors du dernier combat du jour.
Le lutteur le mieux classé, l’ozeki Takakeisho a ouvert avec son attaque habituelle constituée de multiples poussée, mais Tobizaru a tenu bon malgré un désavantage de poids d’environ 50 kilos.
Tobizaru a déclaré : « Je suis tellement heureux d’avoir gagné un ozeki. C’est comme un rêve devenu réalité ».
De fait, c’est reformé un trio de tête à 8-1 avec Takakeisho, Takarafuji et Shimanoumi. La victoire de Tobizaru a également remis une bouée de sauvetage au vainqueur du tournoi de juillet, Terunofuji (7-2), qui a subi sa deuxième défaite consécutive contre le komusubi Takayasu après avoir terminé la première semaine invaincu.
Le n°6 Takarafuji a assuré son premier record de victoires en trois rencontres en abattant le maegashira n°3 Okinoumi (5-4).
Le n ° 17 Shimanoumi a assuré un record de victoire en repoussant le n ° 12 Yutakayama (2-7).
Concernant le sekiwake Mitakeumi, il s’est incliné face au maegashira n°5 Myogiryu, ce combat a peut-être anéanti ses espoirs de championnat.
Enfin, le très populaire Enho, a mis fin à une série cauchemardesque de huit défaites consécutives pour commencer le tournoi en battant le grand bulgare n ° 8 Aoiyama et en passant à 1-8. Le plus petit homme de la division a reçu une ovation de la foule après avoir attrapé Aoiyama (3-6) par la jambe et l’avoir forcé à sortir.

Tobizaru upsets Takakeisho on Day 9
TOKYO (Kyodo) — Rank-and-file grappler Tobizaru produced the biggest upset so far at the November Grand Sumo Tournament on Monday by handing overnight leader and title favorite Takakeisho his first loss.
The No. 4 maegashira, who became a sensation by contending for the title in his top-division debut in September, showed impressive strength and dexterity to outmaneuver the powerful ozeki in the final bout of Day 9 at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
The highest-ranked wrestler left in the field, ozeki Takakeisho opened with his customary pushing and thrusting attack, but Tobizaru held his ground despite a roughly 50-kilogram weight disadvantage.
With Takakeisho looking to drive him out, Tobizaru (3-6) caught the ozeki off balance and slapped him down.
« I’m so glad that I won over an ozeki. It’s like a dream come true, » said Tobizaru.
With both grand champions, Hakuho and Kakuryu, as well as ozeki Asanoyama and Shodai, out of the 15-day tournament through injury, the pressure is on 24-year-old Takakeisho to win his second Emperor’s Cup.
The loss saw him drop into a three-way tie for the lead with Takarafuji and Shimanoumi at 8-1. It also handed a lifeline to the winner of the July tournament, Terunofuji (7-2), who suffered his second straight loss on Monday against fellow komusubi Takayasu after finishing the first week undefeated.
In a fierce battle between former ozeki, Takayasu (5-4) took Terunofuji to the edge before the powerfully built Mongolian fought his way back to the middle. Terunofuji resisted Takayasu’s attempt to slap him down but succumbed to a rear push out after being spun around.
No. 6 Takarafuji secured his first winning record in three meets by thrusting down No. 3 Okinoumi (5-4). The Isegahama stablemate of Terunofuji was nearly forced out before he executed the winning move.
« I was in a very dangerous position but I was able to pull off a throw, » Takarafuji said. « By sparring with the likes of Terunofuji, I’ve been able to get stronger. »
No. 17 Shimanoumi secured a winning record by pushing out No. 12 Yutakayama (2-7).
Sekiwake Mitakeumi lost to No. 5 Myogiryu in an upset that may have put to rest his hopes of a championship.
Getting the better of the initial clash, Myogiryu (3-6) forced out Mitakeumi (6-3) with relative ease.
Up-and-coming No. 5 Kotoshoho (5-4) showed strong footwork as he upset new sekiwake Takanosho.
Takanosho (4-5) came inside looking for a hold, but 21-year-old Kotoshoho slipped to the side before thrusting him down.
Wildly popular No. 11 Enho ended a nightmare run of eight consecutive losses to start the tournament by beating big Bulgarian No. 8 Aoiyama and improving to 1-8.
The smallest man in the division received an ovation from the crowd after grabbing Aoiyama (3-6) by the leg and forcing him out.
