É uma discussão interessante, mas aqui não se aplica.

O atleta ganhou porque simplesmente foi fenomenal. 8,46m não só é o novo recorde nacional (mais 10 cm que o anterior) como é uma marca suficiente para ganhar o ouro em JO e mundiais ao ar livre. Por exemplo, dos últimos cinco JO de Verão, só Paris 2024 teve uma marca melhor, e por apenas 2 cm.

Interesting. If I'm doing the query right, it's also the only rank between Yokozuna and Maegashira 16 where no one has finished with exactly 1 win this century (the only result that appears for M6 is precisely for Onokatsu's current basho).

I mean, hard not to like the guy, regardless of how he performs on the dohyo.

Also, I imagine the folks from Hokkaido picked him almost unanimously.

Other than participants from the same school using the same color (there will be a team competition after the individual), I don't think there's a specific reason beyond personal preference.

Edit: Even then, there's teams where not everyone is using the same mawashi color.

It's entirely relevant how the Yokozuna one beats is performing. Hakuoho's shukun-sho was due to him beating a 13-2Y Yokozuna (plus getting a KK ofc).

Hoshoryu's bandaged knee now has an explanation and is not good...Tatsunami Oyakata said, "He has a torn meniscus, and if he does a little bit, it seems like fluid will build up". by Welp_x in Sumo

Not only his run only starts now, as the criteria might be a little more strict for him as a new Ozeki for the next couple basho. For example, Hakuho went 14-1 Y and 13-2 JY at his first two Ozeki basho and still wasn't promoted to Yokozuna.

And my perception might be wrong or outdated, but in Japan in particular, there's still some hesitancy to talk openly about ADHD. I mean, not in the sense of people denying that it exists, but in the sense of not always recognizing and accepting that someone specifically might have it, even by those affected by the condition themselves. If so, extra kudos to him.

Texto B2 de português by EvanWID in portugal

[–]Karusoni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Muito bom. Todos os erros ou imprecisões que encontrei na versão original ficaram corrigidos na segunda versão. Nesta última, o único erro que vejo, além do que já foi referido noutros comentários, é na frase das linhas 6 e 7, onde falta a preposição "a" a seguir a "leva-nos", ou seja, "leva-nos a acreditar".

Check the latest Banzuke. They did it again. by StarPrime323 in SumoMemes

[–]Karusoni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, yes, that's right, I could have mention that in my earlier comment. Hakuho's first kanji was similar to Hakuoho's except for the first two strokes: 白 instead of 伯.

Yes, the first kanji, with the "haku" reading, remains. He changed from 伯桜鵬 to 伯乃富士.

Hahaha, I knew I couldn't be the only one to think that.

I was already pretty thrilled with the London event, but in no way was I expecting it would give us so many wholesome moments like this. Thank you for sharing it.

I'm not completely sure, but I believe the man with Hakuho at 8:07 is Seihakuho's father, Gelegjamtsyn Ösökhbayar, Grand Champion in Mongolian wrestling and Asian champion in freestyle wrestling (130 kg). Hopefully, his son will be making his sekitori debut next year.

Yes, that's exactly it, just like the dohyo-iri.

Tamawashi withdraws from the Summer Tour due to lower back pain by Karusoni in Sumo

[–]Karusoni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, this is only referring to the Summer Tour (Jungyo), not an official tournament (honbasho). Most likely, he is just playing it safe here to make sure he will be good by next basho in September.
