Texas sumotori Wakaichiro prevailed in his second match of the Kyushu basho, beating Sandanme 86 Kotonoshima. After an early hatakikomi attempt from Kotonoshima, Wakaichiro rallied and beat his opponent with an oshidashi (Frontal Push Out Technique). We will bring you video as soon as it is posted and we can find it.
With this win, Wakaichiro improves to 1-1 for Kyushu. His next bout will likely come on day 5 or 6.
Thank you for posting! I burned pecan pie.

That is grand!
Oh, wow! So fast they posted it in slow motion! Too bad they didn’t add more of the video, though. I wanted to hear “Wwwwwwaaaaakkkaaaaaaaiiiiiccchhhhiiiiiiirrrrrooooooooooo!” in slow motion too! :D
I was at work when I watched this and forgot to put my earphones in. I got the weirdest looks from my lab mates.
So I insisted on showing them all the video and explaining who he was 😃
They also posted a video of Shunba’s match, in real-time though.
I got so stuck on the first story that I missed this and only just saw he won when my app updated! Yay Ichiro!!!!

Good recovery from the stumble!
That is a good pic of our guy, but you should get a sad face one of him for days he doesn’t win.
Wow, I didn’t think he would win this one, this just shows, you never know!
