A Red-headed Woodpecker perches on a snowy branch against a gray sky. These woodpeckers are one of four North American Woodpeckers that store food (the others are: Acorn Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, and Lewis's Woodpecker), and are the only ones that will cover it up

Day one of the September sumo tournament starts soon. I'm so hopeful that Hakuoho will do well. He'll be facing the sanyaku right away week one while he's still fresh, unlike the last couple tourneys. バケモノになりますように 🙏

Makushita Tsukedashi Review
The Makushita tsukedashi system, which allows successful amateur wrestlers to start their professional careers in the third division rather than at the very bottom, has been around in some form for many decades. Changes introduced in 2001 allowed especially successful amateurs to start at Ms15 or even Ms10, though only Endo, Mitakeumi, and Onosato ever qualified for the latter.

Kotoshoho's first Grand Sumo Tournament win in Nagoya on Sunday was perhaps even more surprising than early leader Ichiyamamoto’s would have been.

Fantastic news: Ochiru will be taking the apprentice test to debut in September. Seihakuho and the other Miyagino guys are being considered "in custody" of Isegahama, so Ochiru can take the foreigner slot freed by Terunofuji's retirement. #大相撲

Nagoya starts in less than 5 hours! It′s going to be an awesome first day, tons of good matches today. I′m probably looking forward most to Enho v Fukuzaki, I love those two so much.
If you haven′t heard the news though, Nabatame will be out for a few tourneys at least; he′s having knee surgery. 😭

A week and change until the Nagoya basho and practice is ramping up. Here′s an awesome video from a recent Isegahama practice from one of my favorite youtubers. Hakuoho and Atamifuji are looking great! And it′s cool to see Terunofuji settling into his head coach role. #大相撲

While Onosato was claiming Emperor’s Cups in recent months, Kusano was doing something similar, albeit one level down. Now the former Nihon University star is preparing to take on the sport's best.
