Photo explanation: Sadanoumi had just pushed Ryuuden off the dohyo, but he was about to fall off the dohyo, but Ryuuden lent a stabilizing body and supporting hands to keep him from falling. Awww....
Matches of the Day: Hiradoumi vs Yoshinofuji, Aonishiki vs Takayasu, Tamawashi vs Hoshoryu
Good show by Asanoyama, Kirishima
Good sportsmanship by Ryuuden, Roga
Tamawashi should have committed to his pushing attacks.
So the person that lost made sure the other person didn't get disqualified? If so major kudos to them, I love sports that have people supporting each other.
No, the match had already been decided well before the photo, but I'm giving kudos to Ryuuden for consideration for the safety of the opponent who had just defeated him.
Falling off the raised dohyo, which is only used for competition, is a major source of injuries.
