Kinboshi Sumo

Apologies for the delay! Honestly I thought I had hit publish on this at the same time as the YouTube video, but I was clearly wrong!
Here is Nick and I breaking down January, the losing 1 Yokozuna and gaining 1!

New year and a new basho! Nick couldn't make it so my buddy Sean stepped in to cover the potential yokozuna promotions of Kotozakura and/or Hoshoryu as well as the rumored return of Terunofuji and a whole litany of our new exciting generation with Hakuoho returning, and last year's champions Takerufuji and Onosato still in the mix! Who is your pick to win this thing? Both your head, and your heart?

A stellar Ozeki race to end 2024! We recap the basho and look forward to 2025.

Onosato makes his Ozeki debut, but Takerufuji is back and has never NOT won a yusho at sekitori. Not to mention, Hoshoryu and Kotozakura are looking to get back on track and Kirishima has finally recovered his pre stable switch form. November looks like a wild basho!

Onosato with the fastest rise to Ozeki in history! Has he passed both Hoshoryu and Kotozakura in the Yokozuna race?

Teru has 10 and could always use rest. If he sits out, which top ranker takes advantage to grab a yusho? Or do one of the Maegashira dark horses get there first? Its Banzuke Christmas and a Basho Preview for September!

Takakeisho is dropping to Sekiwake. Previously there were rumors that he'd just retire rather than make the Ozeki comeback bid, but that was when we thought he had elder stock lined up. Now he's going to drag his wounded body back to the Dohyo once more, so we take this opportunity to discuss neck injuries in sumo with a PA who specializes in neck injuries, and just so happens to be a sumo fan herself!
