“If this title becomes my highest point, people will start calling me the ‘incompetent ozeki’ again,” Goeido said at a press conference after the final bout of the tournament. “I know I need to start anew.”

There must be, with so many people actively supporting it.

Most recent Sumo ABC's: 44 on Kisenosato's promotion-clinching bout, 45 on the number of yokozuna and ozeki.

(Incidentally, the archive is up-to-date again.)

Anyone know what's happened to MB? His Japan Times column hasn't appeared since September.

Apparently, he's relocated to Taipei. 

(and there was much rejoicing)

An article that describes the suspense of the 2017 March basho very well, with rich and apt illustrations.

The guy who wrote it has a lot of good articles on there; usually about MMA but occasionally branching out into other sports.

Hmm, makes no reference to Terunofuji re-injuring himself in his bout with Kakuryu...

It was mentioned briefly in the news on day 16 of Haru, but it was largely ignored because it was a much better story that he pulled an unjustified henka on defenseless Kotoshogiku and that Kisenosato pulled off a heroic double win on senshuraku.  It is also why he is now kyujo for the jungyo.
