NHK posts a video with English language commentary after a delay of a day or so, it will be linked here when they do. I think you can watch it stream on their web site at various times per day - here's a schedule - and at some point they make it "video on demand".~~

SPOILERS IN COMMENTS OK!
Looks like Kirishima took the Technique Prize and Aonishiki took the Fighting Spirit Prize, according to The Mainichi.
That top bout between Hoshoryu and Onosato was probably the best possible outcome. Plus, it was just a good fight.
Down at the bottom... aw, Shishi had another bad match... I think he's looking at relegation to Juryo, right? Either way I'm still cheering for him next tourney. Everyone has a bad tourney, bro! Don't let it get you down!
Really wanted to see a zensho-yusho today but glad that Hoshoryu was able to prove that he deserves his title.
Yeah, really the only bad outcome woulda been a henka or an injury. This outcome sets up a credible rivalry between the two Yokozuna.
