Well we’re a third of a way through this basho and, when it comes to who might win this thing, it’s clear as mud.
There are over half a dozen wrestlers tied for first place right now. And it’s wonderful. There’s old vets, young dogs, upper rankers and basement dwellers all in that cohort. I’m very excited to see which of them can keep it going and be on top during the business end of the basho.
My results for Day 5, along with analysis and highlights are available on BE now (link). Head on over there to check it out. Also, if you feel like it, I’d love to have some more comments on that post. In past tournaments we’ve had some good discussions there. So please go ahead and let me know what you think of the tournament so far (and my coverage of it).
Bonus gif is this bird eye’s view of Meisei’s henka on Daieisho from Day 1.
