Everyone Loves Sumo!!!

The July Basho is less than two weeks away!

Hakuoho(Ochia) has reached Makuuchi after only three tournaments, wow! I expected that they'd keep him in Juryo for one more tournament, but no! Future Ozeki or?? Hopefully, he can stay healthy and not tear up his shoulder.

New Ozeki Kirishima will come out swinging for another Yusho! Will he pull it off??

Will we get another Ozeki out of this tournament??? Who knows!

Is anyone interested in a watch party?
 
Miyagino Oyakata and Hakuoho Tetsuya Showing off the Banzuke with Hakuoho's name on it for the first time! Wishing them an excellent basho!

Not sure how I feel about this one from the Japan Times. I understand that Sumo wants to control their narrative, but there must be some in between western and Japanese interpretations.

Sumo needs to control its narrative as its popularity rises abroad

As awareness of the sport increases internationally and its global fanbase continues to expand, it’s important that sumo works hard to counter false information.

If they made it EASIER for foreign fans to watch... then they would be controlling the narrative.
 
No surprise here but Hoshoryu has been promoted to Ozeki. It is official. We will have 3 Ozeki in Sept. But do we leave Sept with 3? Kirishima and Takakeisho need 8 wins!
 
Heeeeehawwww who’s ready to saddle up for the September BASHO????

Loads of unknowns, but I’m sure it’s gonna be fun!
 
This coming Sunday! I don’t expect Terunofuji to participate either. Apparently back trouble.
