2010 Yushos - Which ranks will win them?

[Harry 67]

4-2-0

I don't think Bart can win a yusho yet as he can't beat yokozuna yet. He needs to get past that. I think Osh and Harry could get one, otherwise the yokozuna will split the rest (I hope that Asa gets 1-2). Tochinoshin too needs to show he can face and beat yokozuna. Only outside shot Bart and others have is for bashos where several falls are taken by both yokozuna which seems unlikely at the moment.

Bump!

Poll will close tomorrow.

Nearly 80% of us think that the Yokozunas will win 5 or 6 of the yushos - so not much room for the non-yokozunas, perhaps once yusho?

Yes, nearly two-thirds of us think that one yusho will be won by an Ozeki.

Nearly 80% of us think that you need look no lower than an Ozeki for a yusho winner in 2010.

Will there be a surprise yusho winner in 2010? We'll report back at the end of the year :-D

Jan 2010 - Asahoshoryu

Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov 2010 - Hakuho

All six yushos won by Yokozunas! 16% of us predicted this.

No yushos won by Ozekis - 26% of us voted for that.

No yushos won by rikishi ranked below Ozeki - 79% of us got that correct.

Looking at the predictions, I think that Oshirokita came the closest (he said 4 for Hakuho, 1 for Asashoryu, and 1 for Baruto. Baruto would have won the March yusho if he had defeated Hakuho on day 11. So he can claim the yusho for this poll. (I am not worthy...)
