Takakage Ozeki (24 = Chiganoura) won the championship for the second time in two years since the Kyushu location in 2018, and for the first time as Ozeki. Although I couldn’t make up my mind with a single shot, I did win in the end.

He lost in the first conclusion to Teruno Fuji, who chased by one difference, and lined up with 13 wins and 2 losses. I pushed him away many times, but when I caught him with a sword, I fell off my back.

The decisive match of the championship, which was played about 10 minutes later, exceeded the sharpness of the start. He lifts Terunofuji’s upper body in presence, 2 shots, 3 shots and finally pushes to the left. When the second victory was decided, the expression was slightly distorted.

2 Yokotsuna and 2 Ozeki were closed and became Ozeki alone, but even under heavy pressure, he fulfilled the maximum responsibility of participation. The day before the first day of the current location, where the closure from the first day of both Yokotsuna was decided, “results are required”, and Ozeki was aware.

When the venue started, Asanoyama Ozeki was closed on the third day and Masayo Shin-Ozeki was closed on the fifth day. Between them, he faced himself and said, “Since I am myself, I will not think too much of people, but I will focus on what kind of sumo wrestling I will take that day.”

It also put an end to long blanks. At the end of the rare village in early 2017, Ozeki did not earn 21 places in a row to fate. There was a time when Ozeki did not win 24 consecutive places from Nagoya in 1977 until the summer of 1981, but Yokotsuna did win 23 of them. In the last three years, there have been nine places where Sekiwaki and the underdogs have won, and this year we have not shown the weight of the ranking, such as two wins for Makujiri. Indicated.

▽ President Hakaku (ex Yokotsuna Kita Katsumi) The deciding match of the championship was reopened saying, “There is no change in Terunofuji.” Customers who came to see the game amid the wreckage of the crown and had such a good sumo match would have been delighted. Very good Ozeki, really good as an Ozeki. It was a good sumo match because Terunofuji did his best.
