Guess the rikishis

[Fay]

I got some stuff from the basho for free and I don't want to keep it all - otherwise I have no free space in my home for myself in a few years.

So I thought about a little quiz.

Guess, who are my 3 favourite rikishi and put them in my personal ranking.

It's very easy, I think. Just have a look at my pictures of the Natsu Basho here and find out, which were made with the most passion and addiction (Whistling...) . (Of course Takanohana, Kotonowaka and Kaio are out of competition, cause they are above all and unfortunately Asashoryu wasn't there, so he is out too.)

First price is:

- the program with pictures from all the handsome rikishi from Makuuchi and Juryo

- a beautiful transparent folder of the not less beautiful Hakuho

- and a Banzuke given from Takanohana Beya

Second price:

- the beautiful program

- unfortunately no transparent folder left

- and a Banzuke from Takanohana Beya

Third price

- the last issue of the "Sumo World"

- and a Banzuke of Takanohana Beya

and consolation price

- a Banzuke

(Showing respect...) The first four, who guess right, will be the winners.

There are four rikishi on my personal rank three, so if you have 1 and 2 right, there's a big chance you get them all.

Good luck ...

It's not so easy to find the very little differences in your "Passion"

Even there's somebpdy who tool the same 3 Rikishi, I remain on my opinion:

Ama, Kotoshogiku, Hakuho

Pitinosato

[ilovesumo]

one more try

1 Kyokutenho

2 Kotoshogiku

3 Asasekiryu

[Fay]

(First prize...) Soooo, let me see: (First prize...)

Seems I have to put a little more passion in the photos of my favourites - nobody guessed completely right. So I decided with a point system ( and I don't want to hear any complaints (First prize...) (First prize...) )

My three favourites are:

Nr. 1 - Kakuryu = 3 points

I watch him since january where he managed his return to juryo. He had a great performance this time and he nearly reached the juryo kettei sen ( and he is really sweet (First prize...) (First prize...) ... ok my groupietimes are long ago ....)

Nr. 2 - Kotoshogiku = 2 points

The only sekitori from Sadogatake where there was no need to tremble every bout. I believe he will be sanyaku soon. (and of course he is sweet)

Nr. 3 - Asasekiryu, Kyukushuzan, Ama and Kotomitsuki, my permanent Ozeki hope (Applauding...)

And there are points for some other rikishi ...

So let's see:

Heikotoriki - 2 points

Ilovesumo - well let's see at the end

tainosen - 2 points and 1/2 point for recognizing that Kainowaka is going to become one of my favourites (Applauding...)

Jakusotsu - well you will understand that I only can count one of your Nr. 3 (although you got nearly all of them) so 1 point, but 1/2 point for my adopted Ettoryu and 1/2 point for Roho, cause we begin to like each other (Applauding...)

Imumaru - 5 points

Fujisan - 1 point

Shimpu - 4 Points and 1/2 for Ettoryu and because you put Kakuryu on place 2 1/2 point extra = 5 points

Marimo - 2 points

Heitaikai - 3 points

Doitsuyama - Hmmmm, 1/2 point for Ettoryu but you didn't forget the yokuzuna in 2010, little Koki, so 1 point plus = 1 1/2 points (but I fear, this is Makushita (Applauding...) )

stevebono - 1 point

rhino - I think about your suggestion, but in the moment 1 1/2 points

Torideyama - 1 1/2 points

Michashimaru - 1 1/2 points

Adachinoryu - thank's for your generous offer, but this time it isn't necessary, 2 points

Tamanaogijima - 2 1/2 points

Pitinosato - 3 points

and finally:

Ilovesumo - well I think I should give her the fighting spirit price for three trials for a little price, so I will think about it ... (Applauding...)

So congratulations to the winners

1. (Weeping...) Imumaru (cause I found another transparent folder, you can choose between Tochiazuma and Hakuho)

2. Shimpu (Blowing up furiously...)

3. Heitaikai (Tears forming...)

4. Pitinosato (Dohyo-iri...)

Thank's for joining the game.

For the winners:

Please pm me your adress, so that you will get your beautiful prices (Applauding...)
