Bench FIFA Club World Cup 2025 ? (from 15 June to 13 July 2025)

By expanding an event people already didn't care about, they'll.... I don't get it. -
If there's one thing that this thread reinforces, it's that sumo is a silly sport. Is 0.7s amongst the shortest contests in any sport?
-
I'm going to go with Onosato Y Kotozakura Hoshoryu O (Up to YO rules, but close enough.)
-
Onosato's name sure appears a lot of times on the graph this year. This is one of my favourite end-of-year posts, and long may it continue. It's a great detailed bit of datavis like you don't otherwise see in sumo. Kudos!

The restrictions on foreigners are obviously xenophobic, and very much suppress the viability of sumo as a path for all but the excellent or desperate. If there were both slots and not the punitive long wait for debut (which is *nothing* but punishment for the crime of being foreign), there would be more people willing to join. The isolation of being a foreigner in a stable is also needlessly cruel: I'd think that a limit of two would allow either mentorship or pairs that were friends already to join. I can't think of another life commitment you can get accepted to on a bed-and-board basis these days. It's not surprising that, in the modern world, fewer and fewer are willing to take it up without some pedigree/assurance they'll get to the paid ranks.

Enters january. Pulls out, retires. (Second guess is does well, retires anyway.) -
Now that's a collection of vowels.

My six yusho are for Kotozakura O Kirishima O Kirishima Y Onosato O Kirishima S Takerufuji M

Boo hiss, dropping to M1 from S with a 7-8 :P (Thanks for running the game. I now officially an an anti-fan of Nabatame-san, which I guess is part of the point of this sort of thing--accumulating emotional connections.)
-
Dammit Nabatame. From 4-1 and 7-4 to 7-8 isn't doing your career any good.

I suspect this was a 'limited changes after we got the parity wrong' fix.
-
Well, game's going to be more complicated next time. 15. Kotoshoho?
-
14. Kotoshoho. The DB is 404, so I'm somewhat picking in the dark.
