Happy New Year 2012

Happy New Year!

How are you doing?
Do you enjoy vacation?

I have 6 days off and meets a lot of friends I can't meet usually.
Year-end party and New year party with my friends.

Hatsu-Basho tournament starts on Jan 8th.

Our Baruto is ranked at East Ozeki.
It means Baruto is the top ranker except Yokozuna Hakuho.

We have a new born Ozeki Kisenosato.
Some one said Kisenosato did not passed 33 wins line for Ozeki promotion.
,so he is a tentative Ozeki.
He has to “sumo" to deserve to Ozeki.

Now we have 5 ozekis.
Kotooshu,Harumafuji experienced "Yusho"(=champion of tournament).
Baruto,Kotoshogiku and Kisenosato did not do.

I think first winner of tournament in 2012 is the first candidate for new Yokozuna.

Baruto last tournament
1st day- l (sukuinage) Toyonoshima
2nd day- w (sukuinage) Tochinoshin
3rd day- l (yorikiri) Okinoumi
4th day- l (oshidashi) Goeido
5th day- w (hikiotoshi) Homasho 
6th day- w (yorikiri) Tochinowaka
7th day- w (shitatenage) Kyokutenho
8th day- w (tsuridashi) Aran
9th day- w (tsuridashi) Kakuryu 
10th day- w (yorikiri) Kotoshogiku
11th day- w (shitatehineri) Gagamaru
12th day- l (yoritaoshi) Harumafuji 
13th day- w (yorikiri) Kisenosato 
14th day- w (shitatenage) Kotooshu 
Final day- w (hatakikomi) Hakuho
The point is Baruto would be a champion unless he had not lost 3 within 4th day.
And Baruto has tendency to make his sumo better day by day.

I hope Baruto concentrate on his sumo through all days.

Anyway let's enjoy sumo and watch Baruto challenge.
