On the penultimate day of the summer Grand Sumo Tournament In Tokyo, returning champion Terunofuji has the chance to clinch the Emperor's Cup if he can beat second placed Kiribayama this evening. Even if he loses he will have another crack at it tomorrow, though likely with a playoff at the end.

It has been an impressive return from serious injury for the Mongolian who seemed like he may be forced to retire. Today he disposed of (equally impressive) Asanoyama in quick order, giving the latter something to reflect upon between now and the next basho.

Some months ago I wrote about a lady who, as best I could make out, was present at every sumo tourney, no matter where that happened to be in Japan. She was always sitting in the second row, right in view of the TV cameras. Well, she has disappeared and has been absent for the last three tournaments, unless, of course, she is sitting somewhere else!

In her place in Tokyo are two hilarious young Japanese women, whose face-pulling and general excitement must have amused many who were watching at home. Can you spot them? This was from yesterday's bout between Terunofuji and Asanoyama.
