>>1676781hahhh! young Tamawashi at 3:24!
"young" he was 27 back then
as for Takanoyama, all he does in the video are used in sumo, granted most of the wrestlers to that level he was at (#12M) aren't that skilled
the difference between him and the top guys that those have the size too,
comparison with just the leaner rikishis from the top:
- Takanoyama, 185cm / 98 kg (from wikipee)
- Hoshoryu, 188 cm / 148 kg
- Wakamotoharu 187 cm / 150 kg
- Waka Unnamable kage 182 cm / 136 kg
- Kirishima 186 cm / 150 kg
- Takerufuji 184 cm / 148 kg - he ranks at #11M, but he already won a championship (yusho) in the topmost division, makuuchi
perhaps if Takanoyama had eaten more, he could have risen higher.

hey ho budys!
we are after a great basho, many interesting, unexpected events and results, and we have a new yokozuna to celebrate, congrats Hoshoryu!
one of the sad news was the retirement of yokozuna Terunofuji, his health, strength and performance deteriorated to the point he decided to end his career as a wrestler, he will continue as oyakata, an elder, a coach. he'll stay at his sable Isegahama, and will retain his ring name. he will be missed from the dohyo, im sure i will
beyond these im really glad for Oho's great performance and amazed on WINbozan's too
>>1676993he did well and kept it together for the playoffs
essentially he won 14 times during the tournament even if the score does not reflects it
>>1677007they have mongolian yokozunas continuously from 2003 continuously when Hoshoryu's uncle Asashoryu was awarded with the title

>>1677365it's official that he'll get promoted. they still have to hold ceremony to make him yokozuna, by the announcement of the banzuke (toplist essentially) before the next tournament, he'll be on it as yokozuna
this is the official banzuke, still reflects the situation prior to the january basho:
https://sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoBanzuke/index/here's two articles that says he got promoted:
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/01/28/sumo/hoshoryu-yokozuna-promotion/ - this one is paywalled but says enough:
>Sumo avoided having a hole at the top for the first time in over 30 years Monday when the Mongolian Hoshoryu was recommended for promotion to the highest rank of yokozuna.https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQODH270B60X20C25A1000000/ - this one is jap but says they were very lenient since in theory an ozeki needs two consequent yushos to win. the article summarizes his recent record
i have to add the rule has a clause: "or similar performance" which can be applied flexibly

>>1677755awsoem!
he is young, 25, healthy, he can have a decade long reign as yokozuna
problem with Teru was that he became yokozuna fairly late, when he was 30, after a miraculous recovery from a combination of injuries and illnesses, and all this take their toll
hopefully others will join to Hoshoryu, Onosato is 25 as well
I have my doubts that Oho will get to be a top rikishi, but I continue to root for him
