The outside grip is the dominant hand? Or is it the inside grip?

Time travel sure is interesting; guess the world will end before 2021, hence the reset point goes back to 2012.

At what point will this thread will go so far on his mma career that it will not be relevant to the ozumo discussion?

Wakanohana I, Takanohana (ozeki) are brothers. Wakanohana III and Takanohana are sons of the ozeki. current 3rd generation would be Kotozakura, Kotonowaka (son-in-law), & Kotonawaka II. Taiho, Tatoriki (son-in-law) & grandson Naya, Mudohou, & Hozan

I would start contract tracing those that sat near them during the seminar.

Try Aminishiki & Kisenosato

Obviously you never notice Sadanoumi’s ponytail.

Didn’t Baraki retired?

Probably depends on when the pictures were printed on the cookies? Proofing, prebaking, postbaking?

The funny thing is didn’t everyone, including the Tamanoi rikishi attend the talk inside the kokugikan on the 30th? Shouldn’t they all be quarantined?

The closest heya to tamanoi heya would be Oitekaze heya.

Nope. Tamanoi heya with 18 infected.

If we divide the yokozuna by their rope style and rank them by Yusho. we get Unryu style: Taiho, Chiyonofuji, Asashoryu, Kitanoumi, Takanohana.... now, try filling in the blanks for Shiranui Hakuho, ... , ... , ... , ...

Since the start of the honbasho, Tokyo has been hit by daily typhoons with wind speed of 50km/hr. All outstation heyas are advised to move to Ryogoku hotels and to train on the sole dohyo inside Edo Noren next to the train station (Sadotagake, Oitekaze, Naruto, Katanonami, etc), since all trains are no longer operational within the greater Tokyo network. Enho, Terutsuyoshi, Ishiura & Tobizaru are seen being windborne the moment they step out of their transports, necessitating the installation of handrails for them to grab ahold as they make their way into the kokugikan. All 4 developed amazing grip strength and are vying to win the Yusho in a four way 13-2 ketteisen playoff. On Senshuraku, a mega typhoon actually makes landfall during the musubi-no-ichiban, where both yokozuna were vying to avoid a 0-15 makekoshi record. The roof of the kokugikan is swept clean and Hakuho manages to throw Kakuryu out of the dohyo with an izori. Kakuryu unfortunately fails to land on floor but is instead carried by the wind up past the second floor and out of the kokugikan. The ketteisen playoff is then called off as all 4 contenders get windborne the moment they step out of the hanamichi and fly out of the kokugikan (and even if they could make it to the dohyo, there are no handrails to stabilize themselves and touching them is hansoku). The Kyokai then crowns the heaviest rikishi as the Yusho winner, which also happens to be Ichinojo at 198kg since he is the only one able to stand on the dohyo throughout a turbulent award ceremony that saw every single trophy get airborne the moment the yobidashi bring it onto the dohyo.

His clothes probably weigh 14 kgs. All part of his secret training regime https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Weighted_Clothing

I would love a historical comparison. Kotozakura taught Asahifuji. Asahifuji taught both Hakuho & Harumafuji.

Now he looks even more like Matsuko deluxe

Maybe he is apply for citizenship, the paperworks take about a year?

That is very optimistic.

Let me dig up the FB post from the high school too. EDIT: found it.

The NHK English commentary crew outed her, calling her Miss O (a soon to be ex-colleague?)

Same with Naruto beya

I suppose the challenge if the basho is allowed to go on (despite a citywide lockdown) will be the transportation of rikishi, since Sadotagake, Oitekaze, Onomatsu and several other heya are located far from the epicenter of ryogoku. Remember that the rikishi were not allowed to use public transport during the Haru Basho. methink the basho will go on, unless the Tokyo governor outlaws sporting events (several pro baseball and football leagues are expected to restart, and the clubs are all in isolation).

Should it be after Natsu 2020 (even though the basho is cancelled, the banzuke has been released)?
