I'm starting to get more into sumo now. Enjoying the current basho really getting behind Tochinoshin and Hakuho.

Some really good bouts on day 11. Really liked Hakuho/Takakeisho, Shouhouzan/Abi and of course Aoiyama/Ichinojo.

Ikioi looks like he could do with some healing time. Kaisei and Endou is the first torinaoshi I've ever seen. Even for sumo Ichinojou is a big bastard!

That is the first time I've followed a basho all the way through and watched as much of it as possible, really enjoyed it. Hakuho is great to watch. It sounds like a few people in this thread have been to a basho, how long would you spend in the arena on any given day of a basho?

Thanks for the answers. I'd definitely stay there all day, I'd be very interested in seeing the lower levels see what some more basic sumo looks like. Martytoof good luck getting those tickets, sounds like a good time.

I was looking at Hakuho 's past record and at one tournament he has a record of of 2𣛧0. I know the first number is wins and the second losses, what does the third represent?

Mr. Fix It posted:Kyujo (out with an injury) Great, thanks. Konstantin posted:Despite not being able to lift objects with his bad arm, Hakuho has decided that he doesn't need to see a doctor, and will just rest it for a few days before deciding if he will participate in the meaningless exhibition events between bashos. Terrible, thanks.

Vargatron posted:Oh you know, requesting to be part of the presentation ceremony for the Emperor's Cup. Just be glad he doesn't want to fight the winner. Bit late but I've been reading about sumo and agree with what people have said about Hakuho not getting surgery, I hope it doesn't end his career. Also enjoyed him being cheeky with the clapping.

Looks like Hakuho is applying to become Japanese. Looks like we'll have to wait for the first foreign coach a while longer.

Tsaedje posted:I think he had said he might have done it earlier but he wouldn't renounce his Mongolian citizenship while his grandfather (maybe father?) was alive. Whichever guy it was died about a year ago and he waited a year after that to start this process. He still wants to perform a ring entering ceremony at the Tokyo Olympics so I don't think he's voluntarily retiring for at least a year. Yeah he said he wouldn't change while his father was still alive.

Looking forward for the upcoming basho. Hakuho says his arm is ready but he hasn't started practice bouts.

Yeah it's disappointing he won't be there but he hasn't been doing practise bouts so it was always on the cards.

Good first day. Did we all see the slap Aoiyama gave Tamawashi? He'll be feeling that for the rest of the year. Great win for Enho, hoping he can keep doing that for the tournament. Tochinoshin with one down and nine to go, hoping he gets back to Ozeki. Takakeisho doing the business as an Ozeki with a good win as well.

Yeah, he wasn't taking any poo poo in that bout really showing what a yokozuna can do. Ichinojo manages to get back to winning ways and Tochinoshin is another step closer to Ozeki.

Rigel posted:Day 4: Is it too early to not really be worried about Tochinoshin and start wondering if he can win the yusho? Yeah, it probably is a bit early for that. The lads 40% of the way to his target, I'm pretty excited that he'll get it. I'm really interested in how Enho is going to do, he said he wanted ten wins and the technique award that's a pretty big ask but he's 3-1 so I'm hoping he can end 9-6 at least. bessantj fucked around with this message at 14:31 on May 15, 2019 |

He抎 get the chance for an instant return with 10 wins in Aki (like Tochinoshin has now), after that he抎 be starting from scratch again. I'm hoping he's back from the next one, and that Tochinoshin is back to ozeki!

Takakeisho must be sitting at home shaking his head at how badly the Ozeki are doing this tournament, both on 3-3 records and recording losses to Maegashira rikishi.

Sir Mat of Dickie posted:Tochinoshin's performance so far has been a real joy to watch. And yeah, having him face Ichinojo in the first week seemed a little weird (a great bout though it was). Tochinoshin and Enho have been great to watch. Man, I hope he's not coming back too soon last thing I'd want to see is him aggravating the injury.

Sir Mat of Dickie posted:First kinboshi of the Reiwa era! Yes, what a busy day! Tochinoshin and Kakuryu both losing and Asanoyama winning so we have three at the top with 7-1. Takakeisho returning in a losing effort. Ichinojo and Kaisei both out. Tamawashi is probably still grinning after beating Kakuryu. Enho still going strong 6-2! Tomorrow sees Takakeisho take on Tochinoshin.

Wonder if Asanoyama can get a new PB, he's on 9-1 and his best is 11-4 so he only needs 3 more wins. He has Sadanoumi next.

Tochinoshin getting Ozeki blue balls losing to Abi. And Kakuryu losing to Myogiryu! Can't wait for tomorrow.

I've enjoyed the sumo I've watched so far and have a few questions: 1) So there are six divisions in sumo, makuuchi, juryo, makushita, sandanme, jonidan and jonokuchi is that correct? 2) Do all new wrestlers start in the jonokuchi division? 3) Wrestlers in the makushita, sandanme, jonidan and jonokuchi divisions only seem to have seven matches per tournament rather than fifteen. Is this because there are so many wrestlers in these divisions, if not, what is the reason for this? 4) If you get to makuuchi or juryo you are then salaried, I'm guessing the salary for makuuchi is higher than that of juryo, do we know the typical salary for wrestlers in these divisions? 5) What do wrestlers in the makushita, sandanme, jonidan and jonokuchi divisions do for money, do they have to get part time jobs or are there jobs in the stables they can draw a salary on? 6) How does promotion work, I assume you win a lot you go up, you lose a lot you go down. But how often do you have to have a winning/losing record before you are promoted/demoted?

Thanks for the answers and the new information. Has there been wrestlers who have slipped a couple of divisions and then managed to return to their original division a couple of tournaments later?
