    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time in history a komusubi has ended up ranked behind a fellow komusubi they'd had more wins than.

    I have no prior history knowlege on the matter (or on any sumo weirdness-es) but i guess they were getting pressured from the sekiwakes being too many.

    Noone asked me but i would like a promotion for "my guy" (daiesho) but he got stuck in komosubi east. I speak as a fan most of the times .....

    Someone remind me why Hiradoumi doesn't get the K1e slot.

    I guess because you cannot demote a K1e with a kk.

    Edit

    Nishikifuji stayed in top div with a 6-9 mk from M17e ...

    You are definitely very welcome back.

    (A silversmith eh?)

     

    You know ... life .... :-)

    out of the kitchens and into jewelry making with my partner. Been around sumo for the most part as a quiet spectator.

    happy to be back. I am a bit older and sometimes grumpier. Humor is still alive and kicking.

    He really wants to stay in sumo in his future. I like his persistence if he is doing it.

    Ozeki future will be hard to realise though.

    I hope he makes it. I like him. If he opens up a stable in the future i would follow his athletes' development.

    Is the translation for Kotoshogiku "Close Your Eyes At The Tachi-ai"?

    I thought that Hibi had the better tachi-ai as he got underneath Giku, forcing him upright. For me, it was game over right there.

    Kotoshougiku was well over the line before Toyohibiki moved, but Toyohibiki skillfully recovered. At least that's what I can see from here.

    i think oshi-sumo rikishi (with thighs like an ox*) would take Toyohibiki's tachi-ai over Kotoshogiku's every day of the week.

    the fact that Shogi was well over the line, before Hibs moved, just gave the "chance" to the STRONG legs of the latter to find the best angle in order to push upwards and backwards an opponent with less mass and an ox like stature and style of pushing.

    Hibs found the way to beat Shogun for all eternity .... don't tell him ... or .... please tell him. I kind of like him (In jonokuchi...)

    *of course Toyohibiki and Kotoshogiku are respectively the president and vice-president of this "club"

    Today Kotoyuki was so certain for his loss against Tochinoshin, after the latter got a grip of the mawashi, that he had to give it a second effort to talk out of the dohyo. (Sigh...)

    That was horrible ..... Truly horrible. (Hit the wall...)

    the tomoe-sen in Makuuchi look like this

    Asashoryu had half of his tomoe-sen bouts in non-sekitori ranks.

    Musashimaru (unfortunately) was not very productive in such bouts ... Especially against Taka .... (probably a reason i never liked him (In jonokuchi...))

    and this is how Juryo looks like in the tomoe-sen department.

    and this a list for more yusho through the play-off system. Asashoryu and Chiyonofuji were true grinders on the dohyo, but Hakuho may go past them with another yusho through a kettei-sen.

    Tosayutaka and Tanzo are fighting for the top spot on this list for the time being.

    I am obviously counting out Goeido for a lower division yusho anytime soon. Same goes for Tokitenku, Shohozan, Aoiyama and Jokoryu for the time being

    Ikeru ... aka the "Jonokuchi killer" ... has a body made out of glass but how many yushos can a man "steal" from kids in the long run (Wearing a paperbag...)

    Keitenkai also has a legitimate chance for the top.
