「今はとことん落ちてます」大の里が名古屋場所を率直に振り返る 秋場所での巻き返しを誓う (2026年7月27日)

On the 26th, a celebratory gathering was held at the Nishonoseki stable, to which Oonosato belongs, where Oonosato reflected on the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament. This celebration was hosted by Ai Kogyo, the company that provides lodging for the Nishonoseki stable, and was attended by Oonosato, other wrestlers from the stable, and his stablemaster, Nishonoseki Oyakata. Oonosato, who competed for all 15 days for the first time in three tournaments, reflected on the tournament and spoke frankly about his feelings. Oonosato: "Looking back, it's not the number of wins I had envisioned, but since I was competing, there were various opinions, and I heard various opinions. But I only had the determination to compete until the end, and right now I'm completely down. From here on, it can only get better, so I will do my best to show everyone a good performance again, and I ask for your continued support." Meanwhile, his stablemaster, Nishonoseki Oyakata, commented on Oonosato's performance in the tournament as follows: Nishonoseki Oyakata: "There were voices from around saying, 'Isn't he going to take another leave of absence?' But from what I saw, it was a completely different way of losing than in the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament. I felt that he just needed to regain his sumo instincts, and although I was told various things, I decided that it was important for him to keep competing, so he continued to compete." At the celebration party, Oonosato interacted with fans by signing autographs and taking pictures, and vowed to make a comeback in the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament.
