The first day of the Sumo Spring Tournament is the 10th.
New ozeki Kotonowaka got off to a winning start by defeating Hiramaku's Atamifuji, but it was a tumultuous start for Yokozuna Terunofuji, who was on the verge of winning his 10th championship.
The first day of the spring tournament was held at the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium, where Kotonowaka, who had a good record of 13 wins and 2 losses and was promoted to ozeki, faced off against 21-year-old Hiramaku wrestler Atami Fuji.
Kotonowaka took a hit from Atamifuji in the standing position and hit a well-timed "Hatakikomi" to get off to a winning start.
Yokozuna Terunofuji, who was on the verge of winning his 10th consecutive tournament in two tournaments, faced off against Nishikiki, who had returned to komusubi, in the first round of knots.
Terunofuji attacked with his signature four-right sumo, but Nishikiki stopped him at the edge of the ring, forcing him to get close to him, and he was grounded on the first day.
Of the three remaining Ozeki players, Takakeisho, a corner player, defeated Asanoyama, an experienced Ozeki.
On the other hand, Kirishima was defeated by Komusubi Aen, and Toyoshoryu was defeated by Maegashira leader Ura, leading to a tumultuous beginning in which one yokozuna and two ozeki were defeated on the first day.
