One hour ago near Big Ben - spot the rikishi I think it was Ryuden.

The long-awaited tickets are now being sent out. One ticket arrived yesterday, the second today. I'm really looking forward to the event and London; it's been about 30 years since I was in England....

I thought that if it was about the promotion to Yokozuna, this would be the right thread. And if Onosato wins the next yusho, then he would be a yokozuna. But what do I know...

Did I miss it? Or is there really no discussion here about the fact that Onosato is the most likely candidate since Terunofuji to become a yokozuna? Probably not this year, but next year. I think that's striking.

Walking to the old arena in Nagoya, you can see the new arena - still under construction. Photo is from today.

This is blasphemy!

Let's discuss this after he won his first 10 yusho. I think it's Hōshōryū who will be in san'yaku soon...

God, I love this sport - can't wait to see it live again!

Endo is such a great technician. It's a shame that he doesn't show that regularly.

I guess many folks here in the forum did notice that you had changed your avatar and were curious who the guy on the left side is, but were - like me - too shy to ask...

Germans and the english language... Thanks for your hint, Eikokurai.

Kotoshoho looks like sanyaku-material for sure. He seems so calm, cool and confident - amazing for such a young rikishi...

That's his style of sumo! When fit, he's one of the strongest rikishi in means of pure physical power. And he had no bandage on his left knee - a good sign!

Sounds to me like the polite / reserved japanese way of saying: "There will be no basho in may."....

"Buysumotickets" has started to sell tickets for the may basho. I thought they would wait until the sumo association clarifies if the march basho will take place (or in which form it will take place). Maybe "Buysumotickets" knows more than we do?
