Grand Sumo Autumn Tournament highlights dramatic falls and Kirishima's struggles

The ongoing Grand Sumo Autumn Tournament at the Ryogoku Kokugikan has featured several notable moments. During a third-division bout, Hokushoryu won via an ipponzeoi throw, but the momentum caused him to fly through the air and fall out of the ring, drawing concern from spectators.

In the top division, Ozeki Kirishima suffered his third loss of the tournament after being pushed down by Minoumi. This setback complicates his bid for promotion to Yokozuna. His former mentor, Mutsu-oyakata, criticized Kirishima’s tendency to lose to lower-ranked wrestlers and suggested more rigorous training is required.

In the Jonokuchi division, a unique matchup occurred between 17-year-old British wrestler Eisei and 39-year-old veteran Mori. Eisei secured a quick victory via yorikiri in just three steps, a brief encounter that drew attention from viewers due to the contrasting physical profiles of the two competitors.
