Hakuryuho

Well, it looks like my prediction of six Yusho and 80 calendar wins might have been a tad... optimistic.

Here are some more pictures of it:

Also Sumo? ;)

Nice senshuraku matchups and I'm a poll worker for the German federal election tomorrow and thus can't catch it live, RIP

I'm a politician (only on a regional level) and I love weight-lifting and partying with friends :) And I love watching many different sports

Quite impressive, but as an avid weight-lifter myself it was pretty obvious that he isn't really able to lift 200kg or "even" 180kg clean, the spotter definitely had to help quite a bit, don't think he'd be able to lift it by himself. Impressive nonetheless.

The lads after their training session (Araiso seems to be living his best life )

The gang visited Tsukubasan Shrine today!

Araiso-oyakata proudly presenting their new weight lifting equipment (I'm jealous! )

Most of them are from the official Sumo-Kyokai Twitter-account :)

Just wanted to add this photo (courtesy of SumoSoul on Twitter) actually showing the first ever kanreki that you've mentioned :)

Interestingly, according to Wikipedia Terukuni Manzō, the 38th Yokozuna (1942-1953), was also also part of Isegahama-stable and was Isegahama-oyakata after he retired and performed the Unryū-style dohyo-iri. But I guess that iteration of Isegahama-beya wasn't a standalone ichimon back then?

Tried to make a little collage of some more pictures from today's event, hope you like it :)
