Day 10 results and day 11 pairings, Makuuchi and Juryo

[Doitsuyama 1,173]

Harumafuji suddenly is the sole makuuchi leader at 10-0 with a shitatenage win over Takayasu as Kyokutenho put up a good fight against Kakuryu but was outclassed in the end while Hakuho got unceremoniously slapped down by Tochiozan. Ozeki Kisenosato beat Goeido rather quickly and is the only pursuer to stay one win behind Harumafuji as Okinoumi was out of his league against Aminishiki and didn't look like a serious threat for Harumafuji tomorrow.

Tamawashi is the sole juryo leader now as he managed to fend off the initial attack from co-leader Jokoryu and turn the bout around to win with yoritaoshi. Tanzo also fell from the lead with a nichonage loss to Chiyonokuni. The other two pursuers Ikioi and Satoyama also won to stay in the yusho race with five more rikishi at 6-4, among them Takamisakari.

[Nabuko 11]

It is the shortest and very precise reports day by day. Thanks!

[Harry 67]

Would be fun if Robo had a makuuchi return or even a visit.

[Asashosakari 18,959]

First time since 2008 that Hakuho has given up multiple kinboshi in a calendar year.

[yorikiried by fate 2,001]

I forget if and how it might be possible to use the database for checking on winning streaks. Where is Harumafuji standing historically, would be the question.

[Doitsuyama 1,173]

The short answer: It isn't easily possible. Long answer: Just check all zensho yusho and make tabs of the longest streaks (you are certain to get everything with at least 29 wins). Actually, I believe Asashosakari already did that? If we find this thread it could be updated now.

[Asashosakari 18,959]

I probably did that at some point, but I don't think I posted anything since win-streak tables are available in lots of places. Or at least used to; my favourite one (at Yubi's old site) is no longer there.

I don't seem to have a list ready in my local trivia folder either, unfortunately. I did find this rather odd bit of trivia while searching... Hakuho's Natsu streak ended up running to 34 wins, and afterwards he also posted an Aki streak of 35 and a Haru streak of 38 (if we ignore the lack of a 2011 basho). He also had a streak of 29 at Nagoya.

BTW, while looking at zensho yusho just now I noticed that the none of the big four have the complete set, and oddly enough each of them is missing exactly one basho and each a different one (Hatsu for Hakuho, Natsu for Chiyonofuji, Nagoya for Taiho, Kyushu for Kitanoumi).

none of the big four have the complete set,

Career Zensho grand slam? That brings up other ideas, like career yusho grand slam, single year yusho grand slam, single year zensho grand slam(no one yet in the modern era)

Where is Harumafuji standing historically, would be the question.

I think you're talking about the regular winning streaks, where Harumafuji is at 26. Most of the Dai-Yokozunas had longer streaks: Hak, Asa, Takanohana. But not Akebono, Musa, Wakanohana had not.

But if he never gets Y promotion, he will likely be on top of the list of winning streaks for Ozeki (never being Yokuzuna). He may be already on top for Ozeki winning streaks.

In any case, it smells like history what Harumafuji is doing.

Good to see Homasho going for kachikoshi in the meatgrinder again. His overcautious attitude could have cost him a win today, but he nailed it. Kaisei also has a chance, but should take a look at his schedule.

The lowpoint of the day was Takayasu. He was having a good basho, with some lucky wins and other good ones, and now this. Another man down likely, but hopefully he can recover well.
