Yokozuna Ōnosato defeats Minohami to end three‑loss streak at Nagoya basho

On the fifth day of the Nagoya sumo tournament (July 16, 2026), yokozuna Ōnosato secured his second victory by pushing out Minohami, halting a run of three consecutive defeats. After the bout he noted his body was gradually responding and pledged to improve as the tournament entered its middle stage. Former yokozuna Daigō (Shibata‑yama) criticized Ōnosato’s high waist and lack of confidence, urging him to maintain a dignified stance regardless of outcome. Ōnosato’s next scheduled match is against maegashira Hirado Sea on day six. The day also saw other wrestlers’ results, including a lower‑rank wrestler’s first loss in the tournament.
