- Akiseyama at his career-high rank at age 35

Is Akiseyama the oldest ever to have his first kachi-kochi in Makuuchi?

Never thought it would be possible to put these words in the same sentence: - longest current winning streak as sekitori - Akiseyama

ZENSHO YUSHO

Takanohana and Kisenosato missed or didn’t complete multiple tournaments in a row (albeit after injuries) before they were “recommended” to retire

He will win the yusho, making it back-to-back emperors cups and an instant ozeki-promotion. You read it here first!

I had a meniscus operation on 1 knee and use the very same bandages while playing basketball. It allows me to perform at 90% of my “normal” capacity without risking further injury. Even with 2 bad knees, a former “near-yokozuna”’Terunofuji at 90% explains his last yusho.

According to the database, today was Hakuho's 1000th bout as a yokozuna

The bottom half of makuuchi will be crowded with ex-ozeki next basho

Kyushu 2013

I believe the main argument in the case of Terunofuji’s promotion to ozeki is the fact that a 13-2J - 12-3Y can be enough for a yokozuna promotion, so it certainly is enough for an ozeki promotion, the 8-7 record at M2 has nothing to do with it

Showing Ishiura how it’s done

Because of the arrows. The are never given to a MK rikishi

Tochiazuma, Takanohana, Masuiyama

There are 3 ex-ozeki on the May 2019 banzuke (Tochinoshin, Kotoshogiku, Terunofuji). New record?

ok, now watch closely, shiko is done like THIS!!

No, but a certain Taiho started his intai-basho 3-1

Super-glue on the doorhandle! That’s the third time this week!! Damn you Hakkaku!!

Debut from maezumo: Konishiki Debut from MsTD: Ichinojo

No, they can only beat him during a Honbasho.

Onokuni AND Hokutoumi

This guy will see they do!

In Terunofuji's case it was a 13-2 Jun-Yusho followed by a 12-3 Yusho, both in Sanyaku. As an ozeki, these days this would be enough for a Yokozuna promotion (if you are called Kisenosato) so they could hardly deny him an Ozeki promotion. Takayasu "only" scored a 11-4 last basho...

Partly correct, a 3km undergroud pipeline connects the ancient brewery in the center of the city with another part of the brewery where the beer is bottled. No direct supply to bars or shops...

Having lived in Ghent for 5 years and having worked in Brussels for over 8 years, I agree that Ghent is far cleaner and has a totally different atmosphere. Have been to Greece too (several times) and I totally loved it, my favourite spot is a restaurant in Molivos harbour on Lesbos.
