Kisenosato est le seul yokozuna invaincu
Le yokozuna débutant Kisenosato a largement maitrisé Sokokurai mercredi et préserve son invincibilité, devenant ainsi le seul yokozuna invaincu de la compétition.
Kisenosato a amélioré son score à 4-0 et devance d’une victoire Kakuryu qui a en revanche subi sa première défaite. Hakuho est également tombé, affichant un score actuel de 2-2.
Kisenosato partage désormais la première place du podium aux côtés de l’ôzeki Terunofuji et de quatre autres lutteurs.
Sokokurai, qui avait remporté la veille son premier kinboshi en battant Harumafuji, n’a pas pesé lourd face à Kisenosato qui l’a conduit vers l’extérieur du cercle en le tenant fermement à la ceinture.
Harumafuji a rebondi après sa défaite d’hier en expulsant par yorikiri son adversaire Takekaze.
Kakuryu n’était pas à l’aise face à Kotoshogiku et n’a pas su trouver d’ouverture pour remporter le match. Le sekiwake doit absolument remporter 10 victoires pour assurer son retour chez les ôzeki.
Hakuho a connu une nouvelle déconvenue en tombant en même temps que le maegashira 1 Ikioi. Bien que la main de Ikioi ait touché le sol en premier, Hakuho avait déjà perdu par « shinitai« , un fait rare dans le sumo.
Shinitai, signifiant littéralement « corps mort », est un terme utilisé pour décrire un lutteur qui n’était pas le premier à tomber ou à sortir du ring, mais qui n’avait aucune chance de gagner en raison de la position de sa chute.
Après avoir manqué une partie du précédent tournoi en raison de blessure, l’ôzeki Goeido a été conduit vers sa troisième défaite par le maegashira 2 Takanoiwa.
L’ôzeki kadoban Terunofuji s’empresse de cumuler les victoires en battant aujourd’hui Yoshikaze. Le mongol essaie d’atteindre le plus rapidement une majorité de victoire pour sauver son rang au prochain basho.

Kisenosato still standing tall on day of upsets in Osaka
Yokozuna debutant Kisenosato burst Sokokurai’s bubble Wednesday to preserve his unbeaten start on a day when two of his main rivals crashed to upset defeats at the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament.
Kisenosato improved to 4-0 as the only yokozuna yet to taste defeat at the 15-day meet as Kakuryu was saddled with his first loss before Hakuho dropped to 2-2 in another shock at Edion Arena.
Kisenosato shares the early lead with Mongolian ozeki Terunofuji and four other wrestlers.
Sokokurai pulled off Tuesday’s biggest upset by slapping down grand champion Harumafuji, but the Chinese-born No. 2 maegashira was put firmly in his place in his first meeting with Kisenosato.
Kisenosato worked Sokokurai (1-3) towards the ridge and with a firm right-handed grip on his belt, calmly sent him out of the dohyo.
Harumafuji rebounded from his defeat to Sokokurai with a no-nonsense yorikiri force out win against top-ranked maegashira Takekaze, who dropped to 0-4.
But Kakuryu was no match for Kotoshogiku, who got back on the winning trail by charging the yokozuna up against the straw ridge before flooring him with a textbook beltless arm throw.
Kotoshogiku has dropped down to sumo’s third-highest rank of sekwiake after going 5-10 in January. He needs to post at least 10 wins at this tournament to earn a move back up to ozeki for the summer basho in May.
Hakuho got muscled out of the ring by top-ranked maegashira Ikioi (1-3) and dropped to 2-2. Although Ikioi’s hand touched the dirt first as both went over the edge, Hakuho took the loss by « shinitai, » a rare event in sumo.
Shinitai, literally meaning dead body, is a term used to describe a wrestler who was not first to fall or touch outside the ring, but who had no chance of winning because of his falling position.
Making his way back after an injury-shortened New Year basho, Goeido crashed to a third consecutive defeat when he was bundled out of the ring by No. 2 maegashira Takanoiwa, who collected his first win.
But Mongolian bruiser Terunofuji saved face for sumo’s second rank of ozeki, shoving fourth-ranked maegashira Yoshikaze (2-2) out from behind to keep a clean slate and edged closer to keeping his rank.
Terunofuji is starting as a « kadoban » demotion-threatened ozeki for the fourth time and needs a majority of wins to retain his status for the next tournament in May.
