Tsubame

I did gambarize and showed my best sumo prediction! I feel honoured and this win means a lot to me!

Regadring the Hatsu banzuke: Who will be Y1e? I wonder if they do not change the order of our three kyujo-yokozuna on the banzuke or if the "at-least-he-tried-five-times" Kisenosato will be on top?

Small signs are sooo important.

Still one of the best performed dohyo-iri of the last decades. (IMHO)

That is not a Goeido thing. That is true for so many rikishi. If not for rikishi X, then rikishi A at rank {n} would be at rank {n+1}.

Goeido was (at least) two times lucky in his career: To get the nod for his Ozeki promotion with just 32 wins and with his very surprising zensho-yusho. Look at his record, and imagine for second, that he didn't get the nod after his 32 wins? He was never again even close to a second ozeki run. He would be the typical meatgrinder top-performer: too good for maegashira, too bad (or less consistent) for the next step up. You could compare him IMHO to Wakanosato. He was the poster boy of a (good and persistent) sekiwake. And in the same way I see Goeido. He is a very good Sekiwake level Rikishi, who just got very lucky to get promoted to Ozeki.

Does being demoted to Makushita will end Gagamarus perennial Ozeki-run or not?

A little query for the worst case scenario if Mitakeumi loses tomorrow and finishes 8-7 this time. A three basho run, with a middle 8-7 result, resulting in an ozeki promotion. http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Query.aspx?show_form=0&columns=4&n_basho=4&form1_rank=m-s&form2_rank=m-s&form2_wins=8&form3_rank=m-s&form4_rank=o a detail from the recent past According to this, one would expect Goeido becoming Yokozuna once...

This is one of sports you are highly recommended not to train with your wife/girlfriend.

Many? Please name many general as mediocre viewed ozeki or yokozuna. Yes, there are from time to time underperforming O/Y, but those were never "many".

@Doitsuyama Can you help in this matter?

Going backwards... Kakuryu's archenemy

We found the culprit. He jinxed Hakuho! Prepare the forks! Heat up the tar! Gather feathers!

Maybe just having one post, in what you update the results (and delete the old ones)?
