C’est fini ! Le dernier ôzeki qui continuait le tournoi de Nagoya a abandonné officiellement ce matin : L’oyakata Taganoura a annoncé l’abandon de Takayasu, malgré sa victoire d’hier contre Meisei :
« Il n’est plus en condition de lutter, et je dois maintenant me concentrer sur sa guérison pour qu’il soit prêt au prochain tournoi ».
C’est la première fois depuis 1926 qu’aucun ôzeki ne terminera un grand tournoi. De par le fait, ils seront kadoban au prochain tournoi sauf Takayasu qui a atteint les 8 victoires, ce qui pourra impliquer par la suite de nouveaux changements dans le classement s’ils ne parvenaient pas à redresser la barre et à obtenir 8 victoires lors du prochain tournoi à Tokyô.
Cet abandon a profité à Hakuhô, ce qui lui a permis de rester au contact de l’autre yokozuna Kakuryû, qui lui a mené rondement son combat contre le bulldozer Kotoshôgiku. Ce dernier a voulu appliquer à la lettre sa stratégie de poussée destructrice, mais il s’est heurté à un mur qui l’a renvoyé à terre sans ménagement. Un combat très fort de la part de Kakuryû qui a dû le conforter dans sa confiance pour atteindre la victoire finale.
Chez les poursuivants, seuls Tomokaze (M7) et Terutsuyoshi (M16) ont su tirer leur épingle du jeu ; Terutsuyoshi assez facilement contre Nishikigi et Tomokaze en finesse contre Kotoyuki en répliquant un hatakikomi à la henka de son adversaire.
Myogiryu l’autre Maegashira 7 qui leur tenait compagnie, est tombé sur un bec en la personne d’Okinoumi (M8), qui l’a repoussé sans qu’il puisse réagir.
Il est rejoint par le sekiwake Mitakeumi et le maegashira 4 Ichinojo, tous les deux à l’orée de leur Kachi-koshi avec 7 victoires.
A noter l’abandon du brésilien Kaisei après 10 défaites depuis le début du tournoi.

NAGOYA – Yokozuna Kakuryu maintained his sole lead after beating former ozeki Kotoshogiku on Wednesday, the 11th day of the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament.
The 33-year-old Kakuryu, who is gunning for his sixth top-division championship, thrust down No. 5 maegashira Kotoshogiku (5-6) to hang on to his perfect record at the 15-day meet at Dolphins Arena.
The Mongolian yokozuna stood firm despite allowing Kotoshogiku to open the final match of the day with a belt hold. Kakuryu pushed the maegashira toward the edge before toppling him to finish the bout in 11.5 seconds. It was Kakuryu’s 30th victory against Kotoshogiku in 52 bouts. The Mongolian yokozuna will face No. 6 maegashira Chiyotairyu (6-5) on Thursday. Kakuryu has a perfect 11-0 record against the former komusubi.
Yokozuna Hakuho is alone in second place, trailing Kakuryu by one win, with No. 7 Tomokaze and No. 16 Terutsuyoshi sitting behind with nine wins and two losses. Hakuho, who is aiming for a record-extending 43rd championship, improved to 10-1 after his scheduled opponent, ozeki Takayasu, pulled out due to a left-elbow injury sustained earlier in the tournament. The Mongolian yokozuna started the 15-day tournament with eight straight wins but suffered his first loss to No. 4 maegashira Ichinojo (7-4) on Monday, giving Kakuryu the sole lead. Hakuho will fight popular sekiwake Mitakeumi (7-4) on Thursday.
Takayasu, who had an 8-2 record after winning his bout on Tuesday, joined the other three wrestlers at the sport’s second-highest rank on the sidelines of the fourth meet of the year.
Takakeisho, Tochinoshin and Goeido have all pulled out due to injuries.
Among the sanyaku wrestlers, competing in the three ranks below yokozuna, Mitakeumi was able to prevail on the 11th day of the meet.
In their first matchup, Mitakeumi survived a scare against No. 4 Meisei (2-9). They stood locked in a lengthy stalemate at the edge before Mitakeumi swung the 150-kg Meisei out of the ring.
Sekiwake Tamawashi (1-10) was again unable to show off the technique and power that enabled him to win his maiden championship in January, losing to Ichinojo.
Komusubi Ryuden (3-8) lost to fan-favorite No. 2 Endo (6-5).
Abi (5-6), who is making his sanyaku debut as komusubi, looked in control of his match against No. 2 Aoiyama (5-6) before being pushed out of the ring by the Bulgarian.
No. 16 Terutsuyoshi improved to 9-2 after beating No. 11 Nishikigi (3-8). Following a pair of false starts, Terutsuyoshi lifted Nishikigi by the armpits before driving him out.
No. 7 Tomokaze (9-2) quickly slapped down No. 16 Kotoyuki (7-4) in the pair’s first faceoff to remain two wins behind Kakuryu.
No. 1 maegashira Asanoyama defeated his top-ranked counterpart Hokutofuji (7-4) to improve to 5-6. Asanoyama, the winner of the May meet, resisted Hokutofuji’s neck hold before driving him out.

Très bien vu : seul les 3 autres le seront : Goeidô (3 victoires), Tochinoshin et Takakeishô (0 victoires) ...
Takayasu ne sera pas kadoban vu qu'il s'est retiré à 8-3 !
