Wurstbroetchen 5 Posted January 20, 2017 Sorry, I have to disagree. Most spirited rikishi on day 13 was Kisenosato! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocks 1,810 Posted January 20, 2017 Endo? How much spirit can there be in a match which is over in 3 seconds as your opponent limps out of the ring? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is the one that held off the top Ozeki and fought on and on well after he should have reasonably lost. Displaying an admirable Fighting Spirit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is basically just a popularity poll and the Sansho are based purely on achievement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sumo elders are not those who decide the sansho, the committee is basically composed of media people, a few oyakata, I think top shimpan and PR, and some from the maintaining members of the NSK (iiji-in). Anything that brings a rikishi into the news may have some influence, but rather not this daily survey - I haven't yet been able to vote for it when I was there, I'm rushing to the station at once after the torikumi are over. I guess not more than 1000 cast votes for that, maybe mainly the paying app owners. Edited January 20, 2017 by Akinomaki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
