    Early 2000s Classic Basho streams

    Do you know what I most recognize by watching these old bashos? The lack of visible injuries or resp. bandages! It might be that nowadays they are more leaniend towards wearing those bandages around knees, feet, or elbows but you rarely saw them back in the days. I cannot imagine that this observation should be only related to the abolished kosho-status.

    Preparations of the Y/O - Kyushu 2023

    Call me an old cynic, but that are the exact words I would expect from someone already knowing that his rikishi will not enter the next basho.

    Oshoma Accused of Harassment

    This Twitter tweet named the other athlets, quote: "The three makushita who quit are Hokuyouzan (26), Sakurai (26) and Anzai (21)...".

    And? Just alone for marketing reason it is better to have one than not. The NSK is no charity...

    Regarding a possible promotion of Takakeishos: The days of Terunofuji are numbered. He will not be on the dohyo for long. It is very likely that 2024 will see his intai. So, having a yokozuna candidate at hand is quite handy, esp. with Takakeisho being a poster boy already. With a second yusho in november I see no way they deny him the promotion. But I agree that a jun-yusho will most likely not be enough, due to the "circumstances" of his latest yusho.

    I was surprised not to see a mono-ii in the Abi-Takakeisho bout. But okay, I can live with the result.
  8. A very recommended youtube channel for all those history and food nerds out there just published a video about Chanko Nabe. Give it a try... ...and maybe watch the video too. The Sumo Wrestler Diet - Chanko Nabe

    What makes a great ozeki?

    Genuine question: Are there historical media instances which uses this phrase?

    Just because he is new. You can see this behaviour always in newer rikishis. With time they ALL become more convenient...

    Looks like Terunofuji stole your very comment from this thread earlier!

    Ichinojo - where will he go in 2023?

    A yusho is a yusho is a yusho! I am happy!

    Is it too early to jinx Asanoyama's yusho?
