Hanny Bairnell @optimalilluminate.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Ao has been kind of unpredictable so far. He dropped 3 straight to guys you’d normally expect him to handle (Fujinokawa, Hakunofuji, Gonoyama), but has also won against guys he normally struggles with (Kotoshoho, Yoshinofuji, Daieisho). I don’t think any outcome would surprise me vs Chura 120
Hanny Bairnell @optimalilluminate.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Churanoumi's match vs Fujiryoga is possibly my favourite of the basho so far. I love a good kirikaeshi. I'm not sure I would bet against him vs Ao, either... 122
Hanny Bairnell @optimalilluminate.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Playoff for the yusho between Atami and O, both tied on 13-2? I won't complain. ("But where will O's second loss come from?" From Atamifuji, of course, who bulldozed the bulldozer in very satisfying fashion back in July.) 021
Hanny Bairnell @optimalilluminate.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I love the loaner kesho mawashi's - the kid in the back left is wearing Enho's beaver one, and surely that polar bear one belongs to Shirokuma...? 000
Hanny Bairnell @optimalilluminate.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Genuine yes, happy I dunno lol. He actually goes through a lot of the same stuff Don does! Cheats on wife, thinks California is the answer to his problems, close friend dies of cancer, divorced, low-key has a death wish for a while. 1100
Hanny Bairnell @optimalilluminate.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Me too lol. I’m a new sumo fan, and this sport has SO much history. Anyway here’s Wakamotoharu’s best match from the most recent tournament youtu.be/4odo58ujzuMyoutu.be若元春 対 平戸海 大相撲大阪場所9日目YouTube video by たけしま社長 050
Hanny Bairnell @optimalilluminate.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Ah gotcha. Sorry, didn’t mean to “akshually” you, was just excited to see sumo talk on Bluesky 😄 150
Hanny Bairnell @optimalilluminate.bsky.social · 26/03/2026I have no doubt 17 year old sumo wrestlers could handle this (I'm terrified of the teenagers at my jiu jitsu gym), but I think that's Wakamotoharu, who is 32 and in the top division. 130
