Ajigawa-beya will have a training camp in Ichinoseki, Iwate, in continuation of the traditional one there of Azumazeki-beya, which closed in 2021 and for about 30 years had camps there, last in 2019.

The 5 day Ajigawa training camp in Ichinoseki started today, first the heya members were at the city hall, asageiko is from the 28th till the 30th

Hiradoumi at Sakaigawa-beya today did 14 bouts with lower ranked, he aims for again double digits as sanyaku, which would put him on ozeki run for Kyushu (they couldn't deny him sekiwake promotion for that)

Do you have a real life example?

It's only happened 3 times, the example would be from the 1930's which I don't put any stock in, two more recent instances were 1985 when they were more generous with extra ranks, and 2007 when there was an opening. But just like not re-ranking komusubi based on wins, I think we can infer they wouldn't feel the need to force it.

But just like not re-ranking komusubi based on wins, I think we can infer they wouldn't feel the need to force it.

I ran a simpler, 2-basho query (10-5 K ----> S2) and found no example this century, and the earlier ones were not related to an Ozeki run (they were just more generous in granting extra S slots back then, I guess). So, we shouldn't expect an automatic S promotion for Hiradoumi if he gets 10 wins.

[Tochinofuji 372]

Looks like we haven't had a komosubi promoted directly to ozeki since 1938, so would be interesting to see.

Not gonna happen. In the very specific and highly unlikely scenario in which he gets exactly 10 at Aki, misses out on promotion due to lack of openings, and then goes nuts and gets 13+ at Kyushu to go 33/3, they'll be perfectly happy asking for another double-digit basho at sekiwake at Hatsu.

Now I want to see Hakuho in one of these training reports. Do any of the active guys make it competitive with him? I don't think so.

Would be pretty damning if an active rikishi cannot beat an old flabby out of shape guy. OK, in Kisenosato's or Hakuho's case not so old and flabby but still. Hakuho better get used to losing much more than he did during his active days...

Sep. 3rd

Again Daieisho, Oho and Takanosho were at Sadogatake-beya for degeiko

Kotozakura did 13 bouts that day, also against heya-mate Kotoshoho - apparently he injured his left ankle during the 6th bout, with Oho. After a short rest he continued: "Completely OK, I slipped." - a bit of icing after keiko just in case (the kadoban roulette is on standby)

o

with Daieisho

o o

Kotoshoho-Daieisho

o

Takanosho did 14 bouts - the other 2 are regular degeiko guests, he so far was only there at the rengo-geiko

o

 

Tamawashi was again at Takadagawa-beya and did 8 bouts with Ryuden and Chiyoshoma on a visit

o

on day 2 he reaches the bouts-in-a-row all time record of Aobajo of 1630

 

Arashio-beya: Kirishima, Kitanowaka and Hiradoumi were there on degeiko (and Hokuseiho for a visit)

Wakatakakage was 5-6 o

Hiradoumi was 10-10, in the end 1-4 with Kirishima (who was reported as 5-1 against Hiradoumi)

o oo

Kirishima was 11-5

later that day a visit to a boxing double world championship event

What about Terunofuji?

I just watched the newest video from the Chris Sumo youtube channel, and it reckons it's a 99% chance he is out for September 

[Akinomaki 39,797]

No surprise: Terunofuji can't restart keiko bouts, but the shisho won't say he skips the basho and waits till the deadline: "Now is not that stage"

"One only has to look to realize it. Also the internal organs are in a poor state, and he has plenty of skin rash on the body"

o o  o o

 

There's a kind of streptococcal pharyngitis going around at the heya, Hakuoho today had to rest due to fever etc. o

[Akinomaki 39,797]

Tokitsukaze-rengo geiko at the kokugikan training institute on the 4th, 19 sekitori, with outside ichimon visitors Tamawashi, Tamashoho, Ryuden, Shonannoumi, Kagayaki and Oshoma - NSK:

Isegahama: Takerufuji was 7-2 with here Nishikifuji, Atamifuji ... - he had restarted keiko bouts on the 3rd - no taping now

Onosato with makushita at the heya, Shirokuma was not there - on the 5th the heya has no keiko, usual at Nishonoseki-beya, where the shisho is only 3 times a week o

Sadogatake-beya: Kotozakura was 7-3 with Kotoshoho

No change: Takakeisho today did only the basics and no bouts, off the dohyo butsukari-geiko with Wakanosho: buttsuke honban for him, unprepared for the ozeki return challenge o

Takanosho also did no bouts, but he is well prepared after degeiko tours o

 

Onokatsu first time with mage at keiko today, he did 14 bouts with 4 lower ranked at the heya, including Yuma. On the 3rd and 4th he was at Otake-beya for degeiko and also had trained with Onosho (who thus likely will be at the basho)

o

He aims for double digits (=newcomer kantosho)

 

Daieisho at degeiko to Arashio-beya did 11 bouts, with visitor Kirishima and others

o

 

The usual Tamawashi keiko home at the heya: against the 2 lower ranked both at the same time

[Katooshu 3,135]

Onosato doesn't seem to get out much for keiko does he? The results are excellent so far, but hope he's not so insulated that it hinders his development. Then again, maybe some rikishi wear themselves out with all the high level training bouts......feels like I see Kirishima everywhere.
