Amazed that I have managed to go 3-2 every single day so far.

Looking forward to my incoming 3-2 for Day 8.

Your brand of sumo is consistency. If you always go 3-2 you�ll reach the top eventually!

Dang...

auuuuuuuugh!! He was on his way! He was doing so good!

Hopefully he heals up quick and can take another ozeki run this year, but it sucks that this one ends like this.

Day 8 Juryo chat: Ochiai's been rolling in Juryo. After debuting at Ms15 last basho and going 7-0, he's at the very bottom of the Juyro ranks and tied for the lead at 7-1 with Asanoyama, Ichinojo, and Gonoyama. Granted he's only faced folks J10 and under, but for only his second professional tournament he's off to a blazing start.

Also interesting: Asanoyama's one loss was to Ichinojo; Ichinojo's one loss was to Gonoyama. Gonoyama's one loss was to Roga, though, and Ochiai's was to Tamashoho.

this is a little different obv but terunofuji tried gutting it out in juryo for two tournaments before he took four basho off and obv mounted a sucessful comeback

I sometimes wonder what it must be like to be the couple of folks who got wins off of Terunofuji on his way back up. Like that Sandanme loss was to Daishosei, who has never left Sandanme. You think he still goes "yeah, I might be stuck here, but at least I beat the Yokozuna that one time."

Any word on who's going up from makushita? I know those usually get announced relatively quickly.

Gagamaru is doing a series where he visits various different stables, and got permission to release a video showing off the training regimen at Miyagino. Some fun cameos (Ishiura, former Kaisei) as well as a lot of gritty reality of the training process. The person who shared this with me described the first couple of minutes as "completely cursed knowledge' and I'm inclined to agree, but Gagamaru is very funny so it's worth it. The queueing process for getting training is also absolutely wild to me (rushing in to touch the winner after a match) but does explain something that had been a mystery to me when watching things like Sumo Prime Time. You also get to see some personal yokozuna instruction which was intense as hell.

But as far as the modernization elements go, they show off Kiho going through recovery procedures for his foot (Lisfranc injury that knocked him out of the tournament). I also know Naruto beya (former Kotooshu) is also very all-in on sports science stuff and has their wrestlers getting custom nutrition plans and such rather than just chanko and sleep.

(edit apparently my brain just completely ignored it being posted earlier, sorry)

This was a pretty interesting video; I don't think I've really seen behind-the-scenes training stuff like this before.

Can I trade Endo for Onosho (or, if he's unavailable and let me know if he is, Kinbozan)?

Since I have done this, (results through today so spoilering) the previously 0-3 Endo has gone 5-0 and the previously 3-0 Onosho has gone 2-3. I think the moral of the story is never trade.

Oh, better chromecast support too.

Edit: Catching up on Day 8, this is the latest I've seen a mono-ii call.

It seemed like the only reason they went for a mono-ii was because the winner himself thought he had lost.

Edit
There is currently a seven-way tie for Makushita lead, with all of them at 6-1.
code:
Hitoshi		West Makushita #3
Kitadaichi	West Makushita #17
Kayo		West Makushita #23
Asahakuryu	West Makushita #27
Chiyoarashi	West Makushita #47
Daiseizan	East Makushita #50
Onojo		West Makushita #53

Seven-way playoff, and I don't think that there's anyone else that can join them (nor any 6-0s that can be spoiler). I think they draw lots to make three matches with one wrestler getting a bye, then draw lots again to make two matches with the four remaining, then a last head-to-head. It's gonna be a hell of a thing.

Special prizes are out. Atamifuji has the fighting spirit prize unconditionally. Daieisho, Takayasu, Hokuseiho, and Atamifuji all have conditional outstanding performance prizes and will get them with a win.

I think if I hadn�t made that trade I might�ve tied for first as well, unless I did my math wrong. The moral is, never trade.
