Hakuho in 2010....

[Jejima 1,303]

When this poll on Hakuho first started, he was just a 'hopeful'. Now he is the bench mark. (Note the subliminal advertising). How will he perform in 2010?

Previous polls:

2009

2008

2007

2006

2005

Y1E (starting the band wagon - I presume), four and five (he has to slip up some time - doesn't he?)

I have already voted, but already think I might be wrong. Perhaps 5 yusho and 6 Yusho+Jun-yusho is more likely?

I went with Y1E (naturally) and 3 + 6

Apparently I misclicked for the 3 though... looks like it registered as 4? Can the poll-meister correct that or is my vote unalterably miscast?!

As I have guessed elsewhere, I think Asa, Haru and Osh will each get a slice of the pie as Hakuho continues to battle his kettei-sen jitters.

Y1E, 3 , 5. He will have one injury or blah basho. Other than that, he will be dominate most of the action.

Time for downhill, but he remains Y1E

[ilovesumo 12]

One for Asa, one for some other guy, (not Homasho :-) )

Thank you to whoever allowed me to revote. (Sign of approval...)

YE, 4 yushos, 5 combined

[Jejima 1,303]

Bump!

Poll will close tomorrow.

[Jejima 1,303]

All (but one) of us think he'll end the year at the top Ozumo spot.

Four Yushos is the most popular pick by over half of us (so another year that Hakuho dominates?)

Over 85% of us think he'll either win the Yusho or Jun-yusho in 5 or 6 bashos - so yes, a year when Hakuho dominates - let's see the truth in November.

[Jejima 1,303]

Well, what a year it was for Hakuho!

His record for 2010 was:-

Jan - 12-3 (J-Y)

Mar - 15-0 (Y)

May - 15-0 (Y)

Jul - 15-0 (Y)

Sep - 15-0 (Y)

Nov - 14-1 (Y)

He will be Y1E on the Jan 2011 banzuke.

He won 5 yushos.

He won 6 yushos and jun-yushos (combined).

Looking at the comments - I think Jejima was the closest :-) I will have a big fish for supper. (Big fish...)
