Sekitori Sweepstake - July 2025

[Jejima]

M16W chishafuwaku needs to cheer for M6W Gonoyama.

Just outside the joi-jin - maybe a good place for Gonoyama to excel?

[Jejima]

M1W Kimyama receives M5W Meisei.

Meisei has had 9-6 records in his last two outings. A three-peat?

[Jejima]

S1E Wamahada has been gifted M10W Roga.

Roga has been at M10W once before - and managed a small KK.

[Jejima]

M17W Hakuhonofan needs to check out M1W Wakamotoharu.

W3A has been in the sanyaku or joi-jin for every basho since September 2022.

[Jejima]

M1E TheGunbaiHolder will be holding out for J5W Hakuyozan.

This will be Hakuyozan's 33rd basho in Juryo - yet he has never made it to Makunouchi.... yet. 

[Jejima]

M9W Reonito is off with J8E Kazekeno.

Kazekeno has had only 5 MKs in 19 active bashos.

[Jejima]

M5W Iwadanuki will need a little something from M17W Shishi.

Sheesh.

[Jejima]

M3E Yarimotsu will step up with M12E Midorifuji.

Midorifuji has only had one KK in his past five outings.

[Jejima]

M3W Flohru flops out with J8W Fujiseiun.

Fujiseiun has won 4 yushos in his four year career.

[Jejima]

S1W Gusoyama goes with M7W Endo.

 

 

[Jejima]

M15W Getayukata has got M8W Ichiyamamoto.

Ichiyamamoto started his Ozumo career with the Jonokuchi yusho.

 

[Jejima]

M14E Kaiowaka will wake up O1E Kotozakura.

Kaiowaka gets the sole Ozeki - only half-a-year since Kotozakura had a dominating 14-1 yusho.

[Jejima]

M13E Meletyoshi will expect the utmost from S1W Kirishima.

It's now a year since Kirishima lost his Ozekihood.

J4E Athenayama will be backing S2W Wakatakakage.

Can W5A improve on his jun-yusho last basho?

If Wakatakakage ends up with a MK in July, don't be surprised. You'll know why....

J6W Shiroiokami will go with M16E Kayo.

 

 

For me it's more like

 

[Jejima]

K1W Sumo Spiffy has picked up J2E Shonannoumi.

Shonannoumi is back in Juryo after two years in Makunouchi.

[Jejima]

M4E Joputosu's at the races with M11W Tokihayate.

Surprisingly (to me), this is Tokihayate's career highest rank.

[Jejima]

M17E lonewolf is given M1E Aonishiki.

Aonishiki's career worst result (to date) is 10-5! I am very envious!!!

 

[Jejima]

M8E Joaoiyama grabs M15E Kotoshoho.

Kotoshoho skipped the first five days in May.

[Jejima]

M16E Marakizumi will be looking to J14W Miyanokaze.

Miyanokaze is only 5 foot 6!

[Jejima]

 M14W Ack! will attack with M16W Mitakeumi.

Three years ago, Mitakeumi was an Ozeki.

[Jejima]

M4W Karasukurai picks up J9W Tsurugisho.

Tsurugisho has been wallowing in Juryo for over a year.

[Jejima]

M13W Tibozuka is being represented by Y1W Onosato.

Could be an excellent draw - or not....? (Shin-Yokozuna sometimes withdraw early... as Hoshoryu did.....)

[Jejima]

O1W Baku (my oldest son) will rely on J1W Ryuden.

It is three years since Ryuden was at his peak.

[Jejima]

M15E Andreas21 will be battling with J12E Shimanoumi.

Can you believe it? 3 years since Shimanoumi was last in Makunouchi!
