Day 10: Ikioi

Tough loss for Daeisho. Nerves, trying to hard. A little patience would have done him well there.

Day 9: Ikioi

Day 8: Hakuyozan

Holy cow! Monster tachi-ai from Daiesho. I think he pushed out the side of my TV.

Murray mentioning "various sumo forums in English". Awesome!

Day 7: Ryuko

Day 6: Yago

What a strange match from Nishikigi. He couldn't of got himself in a worse position if he tried.

Day 5: Nishikigi

Another loss for Takakeisho. Wow. I don't think it's his weight though. His conditioning does not look good. Soft. Glad to see Yutakayama pull that win out but the fancy moves aren't his thing. If he's doing that it's because it was a last ditch effort and he isn't getting a good tachi-ai. I think Shodai is the favorite at this point but it's looking like another hiramaku yusho, if we get to the end.

Day 4: Tsurugisho

On the way. Sorry. Worked late tonight.

Yes, if they cancel I think he is right back on the run. The only thing that will count is the kensho money they won. That being said I think the only thing that stops this basho is if one of the sekitori tests positive for Covid durign the basho. With talk of new strains spreading and an increased infection rate the kyokai are looking at the strong possibility they will have to cancel in March. they will do anything they can to get this basho in.

I agree. I could see giving it to Midorifuji if Hoshoryu was off his feet or on the way out but neither of those were true.
