WAKATAKE 1,816 Posted March 7, 2020 Sokokurai kyujo. So long great warrior, I admire your weathering the storm to make it back into the NSK and even score a kinboshi years later. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubinhaad 9,068 Posted March 7, 2020 Interesting to see that the torikumi-hyo PDF on the Kyokai site is not the usual simplified version (which I would prefer, personally), it's the full sheet with the kensho placements and hoshitori-hyo. I wonder if that's a permanent change or just something they're doing for this basho due to the circumstances, since presumably they won't be mass-printing it at the venue as there are no customers to give it to. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also contains this warning Are those long writings under the bout is something like eg “enjoy this delicious ochazuke from naganatien!”? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normally, Hakuho will not lose two in a row against the same opponent, but his dominance is on the wane. Frankly, winning will be more critical for Hakuho. But Endo will fight with the confidence of having defeated the Yokozuna soundly back in January... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dada78641 629 Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) So, we actually have a rare Maegashira #18 this time around (Kotonowaka)! Time to beat that old lowest ranked yuusho record? Edited March 7, 2020 by dada78641 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I have a feeling Hak will beat Endo mercilessly. Edited March 8, 2020 by robnplunder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocks 1,457 Posted March 8, 2020 I can't believe they're wiping their face and noses with those little towels and handing it to the ring side guy. That's the surest way to spread any disease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yokozuna Hattorizakura 72 Posted March 8, 2020 This is unbelievably dull so far. not sure if I will watch the whole tournament. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robnplunder 828 Posted March 8, 2020 Midorifuji was all good! I think Enho is a bit bigger although the stat says Midorifuji is a tad taller and heavier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eikokurai 2,138 Posted March 8, 2020 I’m quite enjoying the oddity of the empty arena. It’s a basho to remember. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tigerboy1966 372 Posted March 8, 2020 There are definitely people sitting on the upper tier (visible on the low angle shots). Who would they be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sumojoann 468 Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) I didn't see this posted on this thread so here is the link. I also set up a separate thread to notify anyone who is not aware that the Haru Basho Makuuchi Division will be livestreamed in less than one hour. It's counting down even as I am typing this!!

Eikokurai 2,138 Posted March 8, 2020 Seriously, they couldn’t skip the reading out of names this time? It’s boring enough when there are other things to look at for distraction. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
