The last day of the tourney just wrapped up a couple hours ago in Japan! Here's how you can see what just happened:
Video Clips:
-
youtuber DonDon posts the "best 10" matches listed in English with replays including on-screen English analysis; those are listed here: https://www.youtube.com/@dondonsumo2/videos
-
NHK immediately posts clips with Japanese commentary listed in Japanese - look here: https://www.nhk.jp/p/ts/Z8WRRJ9K96/blog/bl/p781bLebx4/list/ Automated translations work well enough here to find the right day, otherwise look for something like: 7月14日 which in this case refers to the 7th month and the 14th day (July 14th). Automated translation doesn't work that well on sumotori names, but this is a great opportunity to learn them by sight!
