Well, 11-4 at K1e in January, plus at least 11 now in March = 22+/2 basho. A win on senshuraku would mean he'd "only" need 10 next basho to make Ozeki btn.

This is hilarious for the GKA players who recently elected Kiribayama for the reason he was unlikely to make ōzeki. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This comment on a post that obvious is not even comparable to the others just shows you are still convinced that it was correct to harrass that woman and somehow belive you are a victim... This was not harassment but a report of the (admittedly mainly social) media attention for a certain person, who was in the news, also in not strictly tabloid ones - that was typical Japanese sumo news Edited March 25, 2023 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerboy1966 1,373 Posted March 25, 2023 5 hours ago, Katooshu said: He withdrew from his match vs Kiribayama, who will now move to 11-3 WTK's withdrawal erases the possibility of Daieisho wrapping up the yusho today. This must be pretty bad. An injured sekiwake on 7 wins would typically find a way to limp through the last 2 days and hope that one of his opponents tripped over their own feet.

Tigerboy1966 1,373 Posted March 25, 2023 Lovely to see Chiyoshoma fighting with spirit today instead of deciding "8 wins? That'll do". Lets see if he can get double digits for the first time in maku'uchi after 30+ basho in the division. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets see if he can get double digits for the first time in maku'uchi after 30+ basho in the division. Yesterday I ran a simulation of the last two days of the tournament, and it turned out (sorry for the pun) that for banzuke reasons an 8-7 could leave the M16-17 group stuck there. I wonder if Chiyoshoma wants to be double sure to leave that precarious M16e spot for good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarimotsu 514 Posted March 25, 2023 If Daieisho goes double digits next time he probably won't be promoted but he will join a select group. https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Query.aspx?show_form=0&n_basho=4&form1_rank=m&form1_wins=>9&form2_rank=k&form2_wins=>11&form3_rank=s&form3_wins=>9&columns=6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
