Not any more. It's the two ozeki - hardly really easy pickings if they brought the right game - who'll be for him D14/15, most likely, although to be fair they've never given him as much technical trouble as say Takayasu or Kiribayama this basho.

You are right, sir.  I'm thinking about the chasers, who can usually be counted on to do a chokeotoshi under the pressure.  He can "beat" them by surviving while they don't.

Cutout from my local newspaper, must be the first Sumo article since Kisenosato's Yokozuna promotion.

Given its own thread for some reason but better placed here - John Gunning's review of 2021:

" a dearth of reliable and trustworthy sumo information in English on social media and particularly YouTube also continues to be a problem." Do I detect a dig against a certain well-known English language sumo YouTuber here?

I'm only two hours away from Birmingham and am hoping to attend at least one day, if not both.
