i’m confused. I thought Aonishiki won. Onosato was already down on his left knee before A* touched the ground.

I’ve started following sumo this summer after stumbling on a post from this community. I need more information about this

    I still think it should have been a rematch, because Ono was already falling out of control with no way of landing on his feet when he skittled Ao.

    It’s possible that the rules are different for a “dead body” inside the ring versus outside the ring. I dunno tho…

    Maybe the real question is why do I care so much about this bout? Must be something about sumo…

    Part of the charm is that it’s so fast. The whole thing was over in 20 seconds, and many bouts are even quicker. Yet there’s a lot of grabbing, turning, hitting, throwing, etc that goes on in that brief amount of time. For example, your previous comment is about who had the momentum and what they were doing – over the course of like 3-4 seconds!
