The Takakeisho interviews are the best: his signature phrase again this time, about the win: Neither good, nor bad (yoku mo, waruku mo nai)

I tried to look for the oldest ever sai-shusse rikishi, to see where 41 year old Daigonishki ranks it has to be bg/jk - mz - jk http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Query.aspx?show_form=0&columns=3&n_basho=3&rowcount=5&showbirthdate=on&form1_jk=on&form1_bg=on&form2_mz=on&form3_jk=on&sort_by=birthdate The age has to be calculated extra Yubinhaad pointed me to the next error That puts Daigonishiki at no.2, 3rd is Kitasatsuma at 31, then 4 at age 30. 32 at age 25 and older, with only 2 that happened before 2000: Tochiogi 1993 at age 27 and Kasachikara 1996 at 26

Due to Kise's kyujo and the last bouts going to the ozeki, Takakeisho has still the chance to get big over the 100: tomorrow he is in the last bout against Tochinoshin, and he needs to get paired against Takayasu not the next day, but when he is due for the last bout again, day 11.

Another call for help for the pic posting task: we have nobody yet to do day 12 ! The team has 7 members now, 15 is what we'd need to have each to do only 1 day each basho. Not all members have time each basho, so even if you want to do it only once a year: please give it a try! It's fun - if you only have to do it once or twice per basho. I post this pics overview each day. This first is only from the evening papers, the final one with all pics includes the morning papers. It's either an updated overview or an extra one for the new pics: you can chose how I should post it on the day you do the full gallery. The pics are listed by bout, last bout first, plus optional extra pics in front and below. The same pic may appear several times for a bout, from different sites or in different file sizes. The small pics in the overview show the size of the big one and a mostly Japanese caption when you hover over it with the mouse pointer. Click on a thumbnail pic to go to the large pic directly, to view or copy it. Click on the o on the right of the small pic to open an article or pic page on the site of the paper. You are free in the way you compose and arrange your pic post, which pics you include and which you want to give a comment, be it a serious or a hilarious one. Send a PM to any member of the team, we'll help you find your own way to do it. With Kise out, the pics are back to normal amounts, and day 12 the yusho won't be decided: it's a safe day for the first try.

Mitakeumi still not back to the rankings again, Yoshikaze has not enough yet, and Tochinoshin may not get back either.
