Hiro just posted today's video of Sumo Prime Time, showing 3 matches from yesterday: https://youtu.be/1W6_Fm0sr9Q?si=M_1t035SRJ2bqm62 And the same three matches (in a different order) shown as posted on YouTube by the Royal Albert Hall: https://youtu.be/qEEnY9oxtJg?si=QkD8pyt9zkl7yyzH

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Luckily the problem was already resolved.

The day 5 bug is active on the Bench Sumo site right now (as is often the case just hours before the day 1 entry deadline these days)

More sources confirming the upcoming retirement, in English now as well: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20250117_01/ https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2025/01/14bd63c63a6b-sumo-lone-yokozuna-terunofuji-pulls-out-of-new-year-meet.html https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20250116/p2g/00m/0sp/035000c https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/sports/sumo/20250116-233528/

This from Chris Sumo on Youtube (@chrissumo69), one of the most reliable sources around. So, I'd say it's definite...

I'm in this time!

I will play in the upcoming basho.

I would imagine we should get that tomorrow.

I would prefer a senshuraku showdown, but that's very unlikely to happen, let alone one in which they will be fighting for the yusho. By day 8 or 9 Takarefuji will probably already be facing some higher ranked opponents to keep him from winning the Yusho and I don't expect Onosato's fate will be any different. He also hasn't faced anyone above Maegashira 2 yet.

I'll be in aswell

I'm in if i still can.
