The first day and the second day of the Grand Sumo Tournament, which will be held on the 8th, were announced, and Takakeisho Ozeki will play against Haru Wakamoto of the new Komusubi on the first day.
In addition, Hiramaku's Aen, who won the first place for the first time, was paired with Shinkomusubi's Kotonowaka.
The Japan Sumo Association held an initiative organization meeting at the Kokugikan in Ryogoku, Tokyo on the 6th, and decided on the first and second days of the first place starting on the 8th.
Yokozuna Terunofuji will be absent from the first day, so Takakeisho Ozeki, who ranked highest among the participating wrestlers, will face Wakamoto Haru, who was newly promoted to Komusubi, on the first day.
In the past two matches, Takakeisho has won both times, and the point is whether he can decide the match at once with his characteristic thrusting sumo wrestling.
On the other hand, it becomes important for Wakamoto Haru to take the mawashi and bring it into the left four kata, which he is good at.
The Japan Sumo Association has explained to the yokozuna deliberation committee that Takakeisho has advanced to the first place and the championship match, and if he wins the first place with a good result, he may be asked to be promoted to yokozuna.
In addition, Aen of Hiramaku, who won the first place for the first time, was paired with Shinkomusubi's Kotonowaka, who has a match record of 1 win and 1 loss.
In addition,
Takayasu, who advanced to the first place and the championship match, and was promoted to sekiwake again, played against Daieisho, a flat maku, and
▽ Sekiwake Waka Takakage is the best among the three roles with Meisei, who has returned to komusubi.
▽ Shodai, who is aiming to return to ozeki as a sekiwake, will face Mitakeumi, a flat maku.
The Grand Sumo Tournament will be held on the 8th at the Kokugikan in Ryogoku, Tokyo.
