Sumo full house (満員御礼)
Manin Gorei (満員御礼) is a Japanese term meaning something like “thanks for filling the seats” that you only see in sumo, and only when the place is packed due to a sellout. The reason for this day being sold out was it was the final day of the tournament. As it turned out (although no one knew it at the time), this was Asashoryu’s final bout ever (in January of 2010).
The current (July 2012) tournament is more than halfway done. As of today Hakuho and Harumafuji are undefeated. Kotoshogiku and Kaisei are still in the hunt with only one loss each.
