Terunofuji Asanoyama Myougiryuu (retiring?)

Sporadic attempt to keep tabs on lower ranked rikishi of note: All videos courtesy of the sumo channel, that excellent channel run by one and only.. Nice guy Amakaze (one Makuuchi basho) back at Makushita 55 after dropping all the way to Jonidan 50 due to injury wins his first bout by tsukidashi . 1-0 Taihou's grandson Naya (Makushita 5E) who is taking a bit more time than expected to become a sekitori, wins his first match of the basho, beating veteran Chiyonokuni by tsukidashi. Another ex- Taihou grandson makes his debut this basho. Mudouhou, on the right facing Iwata in the very first sumo bout of this decade. Asashouryuu's nephew Houshouryuu (on the right) faces Mongolian Sakigake who is back in Juryo after 5 years: Joukouryuu at Makushita 32E, ex-Makuuchi and at one point thought to become a huge star, wins by sotogake. Rouga, Russian/Mongolian- , on the right, a name to watch out for at Makushita 17E (career 35-8, never done worse than 5-2) faces Wakatakamoto . Hokahou (Makushita 16W), the guy that had a fistfight with Ishiura during training a few days ago, lost his first bout by uwatehineri. Kitanowaka (Makushita 57E, career 24-5, on the right), another great hope, ex-high school Yokozuna, 19, faces Narutaki:

Rhyen met me a few hours ago He took me to a meet and greet at Isegahama beya. Takerufuji and Atamifuji, Satorufuji and Kusano, Seihakuhou and Matsui. And the Oyakata. Pictures later.

Yes, probably for the last time, I will be in Tokyo for Aki from the 16th till senshuraku, not included, as I leave in the morning of the 22nd. So videos will stop after day seven, regrettably, but fun for me. If anyone is interested in meeting up, well, I'll be there..

I shall wave and night waive, depends on Shoudai.

Two weeks to go, very short window. Go!! It's a game called GTB. I promise you it will be almost as fun as watching show-jumping in the Olympics. This is a formal invitation to play the "Guess the Banzuke" game!! 25 years, 156 bashos. Please play. It's free this time.. Game rules: Guess the Banzuke. Simple. You get two points for a bulls-eye and one point for just getting the rank right. You get no points for waiting for it to happen. Tiebreakers - Most total guesses, then we check the banzuke backwards - getting the lower half right will be important. The most correct guesses in the last ten places will win the tiebreaker. If still tied, we go up a ranking at a time like a penalty shootout. If still tied, I suggest the player with the most patience. It's up to you to check if you are on the list of entries. It's going to be your fault if you don't notice that your entry went missing in the Internet void. No late entries will be expected or accepted. Those are the rules, and the rules will never be changed. Lately I have become grumpy and hungry. For rules, standings and revolving doors : http://www.dichne.com/Guess.htm For the nifty entry form, which will hopefully continue to do what it's intended to do : http://sumodb.sumoga...b/GTBEntry.aspx For Chiyotasuke's helper: https://chiyotasuke.github.io/gtbhelper/ For the "new" archives: http://sumodb.sumoga...gtbarchive.aspx See if you are on the entry list: http://sumodb.sumogames.de/gtb/GTBEntryList.aspx Deadline: Monday, August 19th, 2024 at 18:00 GMT ("Go, massive Terunofuji!!"!") - PLEASE NOTE-THIS IS ONE WEEK BEFORE THE OFFICIAL BANZUKE ANNOUNCEMENT!! Special thanks to showrunners Andoreasu, Wizard Doitsuyama for everything else, and go watch "Sanctuary" on Netflix..

Nothing comes before Shoudai. Or after, for that matter.

It is pretty obvious, you know.. Next Ozeki etc..

Spiffy and Jejima have brought to my attention that there exists an alternate world of sumo gaming putting us here to shame. I can hardly dredge 100 plyers for my games, maybe 200 for GTB but that's a difficult one. Kachi klash, it's a roto-type game. 1433 players.1433!!! Stablemaster game- 300 or so. Excellent , modern sites with a lot of eye candy and spiffy effects.. Most players are from Discord and Reddit. Thousands of relatively new sumo fans are marching towards the sunset. Am I jealous? I most certainly am. I will now sit alone in the corner in the dark.
