Takanoyama does it again (sumo)

This is Takanoyama's match from today.

He's had a couple of spectacular throws like this in the past (this one is not as dramatic as a couple I've seen, but still pretty nice).

This is the first time he's pulled this kind of thing off in the top division, however (he's in his second tournament at the top Makuuchi level).

He's only about 200 pounds (though he does look like he may have finally put on a little bit of weight recently), and is the lightest sumo wrestler since the 90's (the days of Mainoumi).

What a stud! You introduced me to this guy and I like him.

Same to me, i knew him when nodo used his pic on his avatar. Very cool to watch his fights. The other fight where he done the same thing was more dramatic, but that one was great too. Keep em coming if possible.

Sorry, this is the match.

Takanoyama had a similar result in his day one match yesterday. Here is the vid.



That landing was violent. I hope Yoshiazuma is okay.

It looks like he will lose the match but in the end he reverses. Fantastic!
