Accurate weights?

Recommended Posts

Noticed yesterday, Tochiozan listed at 150kg appeared much smaller than Kokkai at 148kg. Will see tomorrow v. Hokutoriki at 153. Tochi appears much smaller than Goeido at 144, ashuta has Kokk at 148. We'll see, or is Tochi just all muscle?

I assume they all weigh in or do the heya's report weights? :-)

they all weight in prior to the Haru basho when the NSK does their yearly medical exams. After that the "official" weights remain the same throughout the year.

individual reports from the heyas leak once in a awhile when their rikishi lose or gain significant weight that affects their performance.

Don't they weigh-in just prior to Tokyo Basho?
