WAKATAKE 2,671 Posted September 8, 2017 So when was the last time that the previous basho yusho winner and jun-yusho winner went kyujo from day 1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twice before, it looks like. The 1991 case had more than one jun-yusho winner though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robnplunder 976 Posted September 8, 2017 Wow, who's gonna take advantage of Yokozuna's absences? Lots of possibilities here. Interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highway 46 Posted September 8, 2017 wow.

Akinomaki 40,790 Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) First time since abolishment of the kosho system in 2004 that 5 sekitori are kyujo on day 1 (ignoring the yaocho ban basho), last time was Hatsu 2003, y Musashimaru, o Chiyotaikai and Kaio, j Ushiomaru and Tomikaze. http://mainichi.jp/articles/20170909/k00/00m/050/090000c And of course the first time since the start of Showa (= the start of proper records) that 3 yokozuna are kyujo from the start - called a katazukashi on the fans. http://mainichi.jp/articles/20170908/dde/041/050/057000c Edited September 8, 2017 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,663 Posted September 8, 2017 That Hatsu 2003 basho is also the only other one in modern history with 3 full-kyujo Y/O in total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gurowake 4,107 Posted September 9, 2017 It took me a little bit to wonder what the hell was going on with the first few lines. They looked like total gibberish until I realized they were rotated a quarter turn. I suppose someone fluent in Japanese would pick up on that right away, but me, I really didn't know what to think of the very strange symbols. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yatagarasu 352 Posted September 10, 2017 The absence of the three yokozuna must come as a relief to Goeido and Terunofuji - will make their scramble out of kadoban a bit easier (in theory). This could be Takayasu's chance if he plays his cards right. Mitakeumi is getting stronger with each basho though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubinhaad 11,761 Posted September 10, 2017 According to the Kataonami-beya website, 31-year-old Tamashinriki retired as of August 14th after a 15-year career. With his departure the heya now has only three rikishi. Meanwhile, Shikihide-beya reports that Sakurayama has retired for personal reasons. And as reported at the time, Hayate retired after the Nagoya basho but wasn't on the official list. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
