Roga actually would like to be introduced as russian, he spent a part of his childhood in mongolia but considere himself russian.

I completly forgot to submit for day 15, still was a fun basho to play.

I remember when him and Takakeisho came into makuuchi, people were saying that Takakeisho is the next Toyonoshima and Onosho is ozeki material. The times, they are changing.

The ultimate underdog pick i have seen was from Yooho today, true gamble.

Hakuho will kachiage and finish Mitakeumi with some sort of left hand pull down like he did Hokutofuji and Shodai.

I don't think he can lift Kaisei's leg, with that injury his ashitori chances are even lower. I believe this is the first real skilled big man test for Enho.

It's about time we look deeper into it, the world and the sumo world need to find a middle ground about women, for the times they have changed.

Tokushoryu ?????? Baffled.

Either he grows a strong mucle heavy back or he drops weight, staying at 200+kilos won't help now or never.

Yes Hakuho will still get some yusho here and there, just not as dominantly as before due to the factor of age, he's old and the prospects are young. It's a matter of time before Hakuho gets to fight the top rikishi while they are healthy and getting better by the day, i don't see anymore zensho for him.

I think there are more than enough good rikishi to challenge him and i feel the next basho Hakuho enters he will face serious adversity. A lot of young guns around to make the old man feel father time reaching him.

Good luck to everyone in the Yusho race, this was a good basho to play TUG. Cheers Achi!

Let's apreciate a great basho, the new era has started well.

All i've wanted was to have good young rikishi to maintain sumo's competitiveness when Hakuho's gone, now that we have it people be like "oh i miss 2 years in a row of hakuho yusho".

Actually Hoshitango an Argentine rikishi went 0-15 at juryo 8 in Nagoya 2000.
