I hadn't forgotten Shimanoumi's run and Makuuchi stay.

The Shimanoumi technique.

I'm a day ahead. That's my problem.

This is a real thing. As a sufferer I can attest to that.

They can still make it three on Senshuraku doing it this way, I think.

Day 8 torikumi Sanyaku 1: Onosato (vs Kinbozan) 2: Takayasu (vs Kirishima) 6: Tamawashi (vs Wakatakakage) M1-M8 1: Onosato (vs Kinbozan) 6: Tamawashi (vs Wakatakakage) 5: Wakamotoharu (vs Abi) 1: Onokatsu (vs Oho) 2: Hiradoumi (vs Meisei) 4: Ichiyamamoto (vs Takerufuji) 4: Gonoyama (vs Ura) 2: Tobizaru (vs Sadanoumi) M9+ 4: Gonoyama (vs Ura) 2: Chiyoshoma (vs Takanosho) 2: Atamifuji (vs Asakoryu) 1: Roga (vs Churanoumi) 1: Shishi (vs Shodai) 1: Kotoeiho (vs Kusano) 1: Mitakeumi (vs Fujinokawa)

There are still enough intra-sanyaku matches remaining to have at least one per day.

I've considered it.

Day 6 torikumi Sanyaku 5: Abi (vs Kotozakura) 1: Wakatakakage (vs Oshoma) 1: Kirishima (vs Kinbozan) M1-M8 5: Abi (vs Kotozakura) 1: Kirishima (vs Kinbozan) 7: Oho (vs Wakamotoharu) 1: Tamawashi (vs Gonoyama) 1: Hakuoho (vs Meisei) 2: Hiradoumi (vs Ichiyamamoto) 1: Sadanoumi (vs Takerufuji) 5: Ura (vs Tobizaru) M9+ 5: Ura (vs Tobizaru) 2: Midorifuji (vs Roga) 2: Churanoumi (vs Tokihayate) 1: Asakoryu (vs Takanosho) 2: Shodai (vs Mitakeumi) 3: Kotoeiho (vs Fujinokawa)

Around 8:18 I saw someone wearing a t-shirt that said Golden Balls

Day 3 torikumi Sanyaku 3: Wakamotoharu (vs Onosato) 2: Wakatakakage (vs Abi) 2: Onokatsu (vs Oshoma) M1-M8 3: Wakamotoharu (vs Onosato) 2: Wakatakakage (vs Abi) 2: Onokatsu (vs Oshoma) 3: Tamawashi (vs Kinbozan) 5: Sadanoumi (vs Ura) 3: Chiyoshoma (vs Ichiyamamoto) M9+ 5: Sadanoumi (vs Ura) 3: Chiyoshoma (vs Ichiyamamoto) 2: Tokihayate (vs Roga) 1: Churanoumi (vs Midorifuji) 2: Kayo (vs Shishi) 1: Mitakeumi (vs Kotoeiho)

I guess the next two days should give some insight into that.

Posting this ahead of time. Is subject to change if someone drops out. Day 2 torikumi Sanyaku 13: Wakamotoharu (vs Hoshoryu) 3: Oho (vs Kotozakura) 1: Abi (vs Kirishima) 3: Onokatsu (vs Wakatakakage) 1: Takayasu (vs Kinbozan) 1: Oshoma (vs Hakuoho) M1-M8 13: Wakamotoharu (vs Hoshoryu) 3: Oho (vs Kotozakura) 1: Abi (vs Kirishima) 3: Onokatsu (vs Wakatakakage) 1: Takayasu (vs Kinbozan) 1: Oshoma(vs Hakuoho) 2: Tamawashi (vs Meisei) 5: Ichiyamamoto (vs Tobizaru) M9+ 1: Chiyoshoma (vs Roga) 2: Asakoryu (vs Tokihayate) 1: Takanosho (vs Midorifuji) 3: Hidenoumi (vs Mitakeumi) 1: Shishi (vs Kotoshoho) 1: Kotoeiho (vs Kayo)

Please can you fix it again.

I wasn't thinking of the game, but more so, the fact they are thinking flexibly. A new Yokozuna, first tournament in the new arena - it makes good sense to give spectators two YvK matches on the first day.

They have abandoned the even-day logic. They did that a few basho back. The intra-sanyaku thing on Day 1 was the thing that surprised me, but I like it. Two higher profile matches on the opening day, instead of having one on Day 2.
