sadanoumi_is_my_favorite 8 Posted August 17, 2016 I realized last basho that Sadanoumi is on a pretty incredible streak of seven makekoshis while staying in Makuuchi: despite not having a winning tournament since May 2015 he's only fallen from M1w to M10w (at least, until they release the ranks for Aki basho). There has been only one other rikishi to lose this many bashos and stay in Makuuchi: Aobayama, who had eight consecutive MKs from 1940.01 to 1943.05 before intai the next basho at M18. My search for this. Kitataiki was the previous active record-holder, with 6 MKs before going to Juryo in 2016.05 . Aoiyama had five consecutive MKs before going 8-7 at M6 this previous basho; Sokokurai is the current #2 Makuuchi MK streak leader with 3 consecutive bashos. Just thought it was interesting.

Unkonoyama 105 Posted August 17, 2016 I really hope Sadanoumi can turn things around in Aki! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
