COVID-19 Sumo Experience: Attending Day 15 of the July 2020 Grand Tournament | Terunofuji triumph!

Описание: Join Mac at the final day (千秋楽) of the July 2020 Sumo Grand Tournament in Ryogoku and witness champion Terunofuji complete a remarkable comeback, the first grand tournament held in four months following the cancellation of May’s event due to COVID-19.

Mac highlights the anti-COVID-19 measures taken by the Japan Sumo Association to make sure the 2500 spectators could enjoy Sumo safely.

Watch the full awards gamut that awaits Terunofuji after he clinches his second Grand Tournament win! Also, the first 6-way Juryo play-off in 48 years. What a spectacular day of Sumo!

The 28-year-old Terunofuji, fighting as maegashira 17, clinched his first championship since his victory at the 2015 Summer Grand Tournament. Terunofuji last fought in the top makuuchi division in January 2018, before injuries to both knees and illness derailed his career. He was demoted from the second-tier juryo division after the 2018 May Grand Tournament. He then missed four straight grand tournaments before beginning his comeback in March 2019’s Spring Grand Tournament in the second-lowest division, the jonidan, where he had bottomed out at number 48. An inspirational story.
