Good call, or not.

He declined the interview because he is a former ozeki.

Fair enough and Hakuho Myogiryu then Tomokaze.

Next basho two kadoban ozeki and 1 sekiwake needing 10 to regain rank, a first?

Asanoyama tomorrow.

Since heard may not be zabuton provided but cannot confirm.

Excellent work. So it should have been that it has never happened until day 11 this basho under the 15 day system introduced in May 1949. This is with the rikishi actually fighting not as in Kyushu 2018 when Kisenosato gave up a fusensho to Tamawashi.

Which of the 3 basho that year do you believe this to be true?

So Trump will have a perfect view from his chair.............No Obstruction............No Cushion!

Died of heart failure day before Haru basho. R.I.P. old fella.

Was Okinoumi robbed?

Dohyo in professional sumo tournaments are consecrated ground. A ceremony called a dohyo-matsuri is performed the day before the meet starts. Those are free and open to the public. Sumo referees acting as Shinto priests bury items including rice, squid, salt and chestnuts in a small hole in the center of the ring. 10.00 am start usually. Doors open 9.45.

He won the basho then so a little different scenario but thanks.

Hokutoumi(now Hakkaku chairman looks to be last Yokozuna to pull out so late May 1988 after day 14. Is that correct?
