Thanks once again to intrepid sumo fan One and Only who spends days in the Kokugikan capturing bouts from the lower divisions and posting them to YouTube. From his efforts we have the above video of Wakaichiro wining his second match of the Hatsu basho.
Wakayamanaka tried at least twice to use Wakaichiro’s forward drive to pull him down, but Wakaichiro seems to have some rather good balance, and keeps his feet.
Well done to Wakaichiro, who improves to 2-0.

Wow, he’s looking much more confident and adaptable!
I like how they almost take out the gyoji.
Well done again Wakaichiro and thank u to One and Only!!!!
Great job keeping his feet there! Then adapting and not getting ruffled when the gyoji got bonked.
