Jokkamura

Would it be possible to have only one sekiwake ?

Perhaps they are working on another "final-day-winning-tie-breaker". :)

I'm sorry to hear of your brothers death. There is an address on the german myspace page, nothing else: MySpace, Inc. 8391 Beverly Blvd, #349 Los Angeles CA 90048 USA

Seemed to me that Kokkai, too, was pretty sure that he had lost. He hesitated and looked around but nothing happened so he accepted his fate. ;)

Is there any Naadam lifestream available?

1. Empire of the Sun

You're sure about that? If I read sumo.hu richt, he started under shikona Hayashi at Makushita 4 West: http://www.szumo.hu/sekitori/Daikiko.html

Links to the Makushita-warriors are shown on Kintamayama's Page: http://www.dichne.com/maku.htm

That's his un-updated debut weight from 1998; he at 138 kg or so now. Thanks, I expected them to update it frequently.

Seems that Kitataiki is a "bit" lighter: http://sumo.goo.ne.jp/eng/ozumo_meikan/rik...ishi.php?A=1810

Thanks, that was close. I didn't expect to win the tie-break with only five Baruto picks. :-)

Showdown on the final day. There is still a chance of a "final-day-winning-tie-breaker". :-) How many chain gang yushos are needed for the yokozuna title? (First prize...)

Thanks, I thought so. So let's name it a "final-day-winning-tie-breaker". (In love...)

There is some chance we might make it to the tie-break this time. two days left and still no decision.

Professionell sports is a) business and b) a toy for the rich ones everywhere. Winning or earning (or both) is essential. I stuck with sumo now for about 12 years because of a slight hope that in a traditional society there might be some difference but finally that's a stupid illusion. But what's life without illusion? So let's continue! :-S

Finally the Baruto-Train might help if a tie-break is needed. In that case I'm not in as I've not used him very often. Has there ever been a tie-break after day 15?

I've compared his record of the last two years to record of the ozekis. Kotomitsuki 104 - 76 Kaio 81 - 65 - 34 Tochiazuma 101 - 57 - 22 Chiyotaikai 102 - 65 - 13 Kotooshu 118 - 62 Hakuho 127 - 42 - 21 That's not that bad. I hope he'll make it finally
