I don't doubt for a second they'll shove whomever off the kyokai the moment a willing Mitakeumi retires, à la Goeido

Well, he would have 3 years to get one after he retires, so they wouldn't need to get him one immediately.  It doesn't matter how long you're Ozeki for, you're still a former Ozeki.

Oho a grand 3-17 (one of those wins a fusen) over the last 5 days of his 4 makuuchi tournaments. He needs to find another gear down the stretch.

Edit: Not sure what's confusing you @Kotomiyama ?

Oho himself is what confuses me. The statistics you provided are abysmal and probably a symptom of something in his mind.

Uncle didn't like it - or the bout, rather.

I've not been active on the forum for a while, but I've definitely enjoyed this tournament. I'm glad 37 year old Tamawashi was able to clinch it. Even if he had to bump my favorite, Hokutofuji.

These kids love their commentator grandpa:

Some shots I thought were nice:

Was it just me, or was the salt flying around more this basho?  It seems like every third time the loser went out over those corners!
