Operation is done. He says now return 2026 only!!

Operation within the next week. Yes, I also think he's too ambitious. Very positive personality ...

He says probably 3 months for full recovery ... aiming for Nagoya to return.

Kyujo for sure ... no hope it's not a ruptured cruciate ligament. Terrible .. he's such a sweetheart.

Nishiiwa-beya will have 3 recruits in total.

Takasago-beya has 2 new recruits!

Sakaigawa-beya has one new recruit from Tottori-ken!

It has been mentioned by several people including journalists. Nothing is decided yet! But I think if London will be a success they will go to Paris as well.

Can anybody help me with the first kensho Meisei got in 2018 (Nagoya)? Which bout was it? Is the list for this Basho still available?

2007 they went to Hawaii/Honolulu

2026 the plan is to go to France as well.

back at least to Makushita ... close call!?

Kiryoku is back to Juryo safe even if he looses his last and Kazekeno wins, right?

Place not decided yet ...

Miyagino-beya will be back probably within the first half of the next year!!

Does anybody has a list with the Heya lodgings in Fukuoka?

Respect!!!

well, in January I saw many many big groups but most were Japanese. It's quite interesting with the (weak) Yen. The trips to Japan are still very very expensive as the whole travelling has become far more expensive compared to before Covid. Flight costs to Japan have increased a lot and now with the hotels is becomes the same. You may save money on the one hand but at the same time you loose more. Also the Railpass has become significantly more expensive. My total calculation for a Japan/Sumo trip has not become cheaper.

What's the main reason for this extremely high demand? It started with the Hatsu Basho but then it still was no problem to buy tickets for most of the days via official resale on sumio.pia within hours. Mainly new cooperations between the Kyokai and various agencies?

you can do this without mastering Japanese at a certain level? Anyway I'm very glad I just have to write a message ... otherwise no live Sumo anymore after so many years.

The online sale (pia) was done after few than one hour! No chance to get a single ticket. These days there are no day tickets anymore as well. For common sumo fans who want to go several days without paying to "reseller" hard times! It's all about contacts at the moment ...

Quite interesting if his younger brother "Shunrai" is going to make it to Sekitori as well. He's just 19, maybe not with the same talent than Kiryuko but promising as well.

Said he gets 6 Kesho Mawashi!! A kind, likeable person!

12000 ...
