But who do you favour at the SW slot - Bart or Giku?

Yes, my question was - what rank would he be after the second 12-3? But also - he got two straight yushos. Can we also discuss possible yokozuna promotion? Or you have to be at ozeki rank to pull out two concecutive yushos to become yokozuna? In my opinion there is possibility of all three option: a) no promotion > 40%; b) ozeki > 50% c) yokozuna < 5%

Sekiwakes results in four consecutive bashos are 8-7; 12-3Y; 12-3Y; 8-7. My question is - what rank does he hold on the forth basho (the last 8-7)?

S1w Aminishiki (1-1) O1w Chiyotaikai (2-0) Third ozeki oponent in a row! When was the last time when sekiwake had such a rough path at the beginning of the basho?

Samantha Jane Stacey winning silver at Rakvere (photos are not from the final bout):

And he specified that in current association there are three-four people who are CLEAN! Fun continious indeed!

The topic title says "Makunouchi", fwiw. That must have to be corrected after my reply. I checked it specially before I answered. It was "plain" basho topic then.

Disagree. In Juryo (particulary) and Makushita the yusho race is very intresting.

I looked up your adoptee at sumodb. And I have a question: did he really lost 36 kilos between Hatsu and Haru?

:-D

The same screwing happened to Baruto :-S at shonichi. Clearly Miya's hand touched already the dohyo while Bart was still hanging above it. (Shaking head...)

Things weren't _what_? Can't figure this one out at all. "Horosho" means in Russian "good".

I'll bet fifty-sixty on Barutos win.

I have a question. When was the last time both/all yokozunas lost their boots at the same day without fusen? I didn't know how to squeeze this out from sumodb.sumogames. Thanks.

So if I'm not mistaken the bar is currently set at 11 by Kotooshu, but it can be lowered to 8 or even 7. Tosayutaka is still on course for a 7 or an 8. The first who bansih Osh as the record holder will be Ichihara! (On the banzuke...) And there is quite a big opportunity that he
