Kinboshi Sumo

We're 1 week on from the September basho and Yokozuna Onosato is once again king of the mountain! Sean is back to discuss whether we think he can sustain it and is truly back, or will recede again into injury riddled obscurity. We also discuss the failed Yokozuna bid for Kirishima, failed Ozeki bid for Atamifuji, surprise san'yaku debut of Fujinokawa and more!

And just like that September is in the books! No spoilers in the description but Brett is here to break down all the spoilery goodness of the basho that just ended! Relive the final day with us!

We're halfway through and the sumo is just fine! Matt joins the pod to breakdown the first 7 days of the September 2026 tournament! Kirishima's Yokozuna hopes and Atamifuji's Ozeki dream are both still alive but Yokozuna Onosato and Ozeki Kotozakura (shockingly!!!) lead the pack while Aonishiki is struggling. How you feeling after 1 week folks?!

Phil is back to discuss the kyujo and the walking wounded alike in our injury report for the September sumo tournament! 0:00 Intro 1:00 Kyujo Absences (Hoshoryu, Wakatakakage, Wakanosho) 18:10 Injured and Competing (Onosato, Kotozakura, Aonishiki, Takayasu, Asanoyama) 31:06 Atamifuji and Outro

Sumo is back and so is Sean to talk Onosato's slow comeback, Kirishima's Yokozuna hopes, Atamifuji's Ozeki dreams, and Aonishiki's foot. (but like... in an athletics way...). email us! [email protected]
