That Kaiketsu example is incredible. He only faced TWO rikishi that ended with a losing record in Haru 1972.
-
Man, if someone would have told me that Shodai was going to finish with a better record than Takakeisho after days 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,and 12 I would have laughed in their face MERCILESSLY. I have been humbled. So much respect for Shodai. The man is truly an enigma
-
I owe Shodai an apology. WOW. He looked completely listless on the dohyo those first 5 days. I would have never guessed he would have made it to a match with Takakeisho, let alone win it this basho.
-
So what are the chances that Shodai pulls out and shoots for 10 wins next tournament? I cant see him beating a 0-3 Ura. Also, kinda surprised that Endo and Ishiura have never faced each other before. Unfortunately, we won't get to see it tomorrow either.

Dang I missed the deadline. :(

Sumo articles by journalists who are Forum members/or not
nelimw replied to Kintamayama's topic in Ozumo Discussions
Thinking about attending this event to see Hidetora Hanada and Daiki Nakamura. Anyone else thinking about going? -
As someone who is newer to the sumo world, this post was extremely helpful.
-
Close. All except Hakuho. His sole win against the yokozuna was when he was at S1w Hastsu 2019 Edit: nevermind, I reread what you said. It makes sense now.
-
Still learning about the sumo world, is smoking really a problem with the rikishi? You would think they would avoid damaging their lungs since stamina is already going to be an issue while trying to haul around a massive frame.
-
Although if Abi manages to win tomorrow it will make the day 15 Y/O bout extremely important (provided that Abi wins his day 14 and 15 bouts). Would be interesting to see Teru have to beat Takakeisho and Abi back to back to yusho...
-
This was my exact thought!
-
How far will Asanoyama fall in the next banzuke? Just curious to know your thoughts
-
In the off time I watch Premier League football (Go Wolverhampton) and American football (Go Philadelphia Eagles).

I started watching sumo in March 2017, Hakuho was injured and out by day 5. When I saw him come back and zensho in May, I was floored. Watching someone be so dominant in a sport was incredible to say the least. When Kisenosato or Kakuryu lost a match, it was never surprising/shocking. But when Hakuho lost a match, even if it was to someone in san'yaku, it felt like history was made. He wasn't expected to lose and always looked like he was giving 110%. At least that's how I saw it. I'll miss the gravitas of Hakuho's matches.

Well, it was good while it lasted....
