Bunbukuchagama 771 Posted January 30, 2024 On 30/01/2024 at 21:08, Reonito said: Yeah, 3-4 in the next basho seems to be the median result for yusho winners from the lower half. ...And the top of your list is dominated by sekitori rikishi coming back after injury or disqualification. Even future success stories like Kinbozan, Tamawashi, Shodai, Nishikigi, Kiribayama, and Aoiyama did not follow their lower-Ms yusho with another dominant performance. This means there is no need to worry about Satorufuji's potential, he should be fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ack! 478 Posted March 28, 2024 (edited) Haru 2024, Senshuraku (Final) Better late than never for this post. Will Takerufuji have to face a full joi schedule in his quest for double digits on the Wall? Speaking of double digits, dai-Wallee Shirokuma (the new shikona just isn't catching on with me for some reason) fell just short due to injury, of which I lack any specifics if anyone would like to chime in on that. Sorry to report that Aonishiki blemished his record with his first loss after three basho. Will he make a Takerufuji-esque sprint through the ranks? He's off to an identical start, so stay tuned!
