    • He won't win any bouts in 2024!
      0
  3. 3. Which of the following short shikona sekitori will Oho win MORE bouts than in total (i.e out of 90 - not the direct head-to-heads) in 2024. So if you think Oho will win 41 bouts (as he did in 2023), and rikishi A will win 40, vote 'yes'. You can vote as many times as you like.

Oho was born on St Valentine's Day, 2000 and is the very first rikishi born after January 1st, 2000 to become a sekitori.

His highest rank to date was M6W in July 2023.

How will he do in 2024? Will he make it to the joi-jin - or sanyaku? Or will he drop to Juryo?

Please add a comment with as much prediction for Oho as you can. Comments are used for tie-breakers to decide yusho and jun-yusho winners.

Now I've had a good look at him I think he's unlikely to rise much above the lower maegashira ranks. I'd be happy to be wrong - I still think he has the physical potential but I don't think he has the grunt needed to be a world beater

test and re-test again for the lad. still rising but no stable support, so any progress will be slow.

He could have a breakout year, but from what we've seen so far it looks like his current limit is elevator rikishi. It's difficult to predict where the elevator stops a year from now, let's say M5. If he reaches the joi he should have ample opportunities to face ozeki and cause one or two upsets.

He will drop to J2E once but come right back. The M2 that he beats will be Hokutofuji

M9-M10 on January 2025. Ups and downs in the year, average level. Better record than 4 out 10 mentioned in question 3.

My BOLD prediction....  This will be Oho's year! He's going all the way to Sekiwake for January 2025, defeating at least one Ozeki along the way. He's going to do the best of the 'short shikona' rikishi - i.e. I've ticked all bar the last box for Q3. :-)

We mostly think that he will start January 2025 ranked below the joi-jin - although four of us have predicted that he will be in the lower sanyaku!

Exactly half of us think that he will defeat at least one sanyaku opponent during 2024.

We think that Oho will have a better year (in terms of wins) than Endo, Akua and Yuma.
