    Sumo internet radio broadcasting begins in earnest

    Wish you well with your radio show. Did you have to pay the Kyokai a lot for the rights to broadcast?

    when was the last time hakuho lost three in a row?

    Perhaps he doesn't chase as well as he leads.

    He certainly looked proppy after his bout but didn't appear too bad.

    Stories from Day 12

    Pathetic sumo from the two ozeki..........17-3 record and the last 6 straight and baruto pulls that bullshit. harumafuji has been constantly saying for years his sumo is for the fans...........geez. If the sumo gods are watching from now on baruto loses one more and Hakuho beats him in regulation and in the playoff.

    Day 4: Baruto vs. Wakakoyu - Gyōji Injured

    Kimura Shozaburo Hatakeyama Saburo 16/03/1950 Jul 1965 Oshima Sanyaku Gyoji He is in hospital for observation but other than a sore head he is supposedly OK.

    So, was Harumafuji out or not?

    I don't know but from the (non-)reaction of the shinpan I thought the foot was on the tawara, but didn't touch the ground beyond it. Seems unlikely to me that nobody even considered it since it wasn't exactly sneaky (that happens) but quite obvious. I've watched it maybe a hundred times (maybe, 15 times is closer to the truth..) and I am convinced he was out. He stepped out in a blind spot where no shimpan could get a really good look. The picture I posted doesn't show it-if you watch the video, it looks like there is a pretty good chance they missed this. He was definitely over and above the tawara - question is, if the heel touched outside. Not sure what blind spot you are talking about as the shimpan had full view, Tawara two step I believe.

    Masunoyama

    What is happening with that site lately? Crew deserted the ship or lack of enthusiasm too obvious.

    Kotoshogiku looking good

    And I think he is injured. Right elbow injury aggravated after the Kisenosato loss. I doubt he would give up his 20th yusho for the overall picture.. But who knows? I know! Care to elaborate?

    Kotoshogiku looking good

    No proof of course but I wonder if Hakuho has the overall picture in mind with his two losses in a row? My cynical side thinks not without a possibility.

    Isenoumi-oyakata - old and new

    If Kyokutenho becomes Oshima by next May as commonly expected, are you going to tell us which reincarnated member you are? (Whatever above, it is funny...) (And I'm not talking about the other specialweek account.) No need to wait. One in the same. New email address refused my access to old account that is all.

    Isenoumi-oyakata - old and new

    Ah not so yee of the 12,000 posts. I have read those articles too. We shall see what unfolds. Assumptions are not always correct.

    Isenoumi-oyakata - old and new

    My sources report the possibility of Kaio taking over Tomozuna most unlikely as they don't really get on that well. Tosanoumi's wife has no interest in being o-kami-san and Kyokutenho is more likely to keep fighting than wanting to take over Oshima beya which will probably merge with another heya in the future. The kyokai with a new riji-cho needed after hanaregoma drops out next January may have very conflicting battles ahead.
