I have no prior history knowlege on the matter (or on any sumo weirdness-es) but i guess they were getting pressured from the sekiwakes being too many.
Noone asked me but i would like a promotion for "my guy" (daiesho) but he got stuck in komosubi east. I speak as a fan most of the times .....
You know ... life ....
out of the kitchens and into jewelry making with my partner. Been around sumo for the most part as a quiet spectator.
happy to be back. I am a bit older and sometimes grumpier. Humor is still alive and kicking.
He really wants to stay in sumo in his future. I like his persistence if he is doing it.
Ozeki future will be hard to realise though.
I hope he makes it. I like him. If he opens up a stable in the future i would follow his athletes' development.
Betting only for the yusho winner is kind of interesting but i BET (intentional pun) i will never see daily torikumi odds.
And with my sumo gaming successes (nonexistent) i am happy i will never do
I love "modern times", "nowadays", or however you call today. We can watch the future of sumo online so easily
Years ago we would ask Martina if she could take pics of our lower div "adoptees" too see how they look-evolve.
Lovely stuff
I remember be thinking what a yokozuna Mita will make when his run brings him there.
A sekiwake with 3 yushos ... one third of the yushos yokozunas are ending their careers with ...
But then he became Ozeki. You have seen the rest.
I can imagine him being a good coach though. He looks like he knows his shit in the dohyo even though he is not doing it anymore.
