Azumaryū's made top tier
nine different times
all nine time, make-koshi
losing records were achieved
losing records were achieved
this is only the
second time Azumaryū
has remained top tier
second time Azumaryū
has remained top tier
finishing 7 and 8
last time, still makuuchi
last time, still makuuchi
"inside the curtain"
for the new year, and chasing
a winning record
for the new year, and chasing
a winning record
Azumaryū has shown fight,
but has not looked excellent
but has not looked excellent
against Aoiyama

on day 8, he faced the shock
leaderboard joiner
the two do not exactly
have a picture perfect bout
have a picture perfect bout
it is bumbling and
off-balance, and yet one man
must always still win
off-balance, and yet one man
must always still win
the big Bulgarian brute
loses control moving forward

Azumaryū does
a casual slap down to
achieve victory

achieve victory
two wins away from first ever
kachi-koshi performance

sumo veteran
at 35, but not as
