Poll: Who will get the Sumo Stomp! spotlight in Kyushu?
Let's pick one wrestler to pay special attention to at the next tournament.
Hi all,
Recently I put out a poll asking what you’d like to see on this here Substack:
The result was pretty conclusive. The majority of readers would like to see a post dedicated to a single rikishi and how they fared in a given tournament.
So let’s do another poll to find out who that lucky wrestler will be.
Only allow for five options so I’ve gone for a mix here of wrestlers who will feature across the next banzuke. I’ve also gone for some here who have interesting storylines heading into the next basho.
Takakeisho: Will he get another win and will that be enough to become yokozuna?
Atamifuji: Was the aki basho a fluke? How will he respond to tougher opposition?
Hoshoryu: Are the ozeki jitters gone now? Or will he be shaky again?
Midorifuji: Can he follow up his 10-5 record with another kachi-koshi or will he slump to another losing record?
Tobizaru: How much fun can we have watching the Flying Monkey do Flying Monkey things?
Feel free to write in additional votes in the comments. If a wrestler gets more write in votes than anyone in the poll, he’ll get picked.
How about Hokuseihō.
