Hatsu Basho starts tomorrow!!! And I'm reading on Tachiai blog, that Terunofuji will fight! Sadly I don't hope for much, his body is a wreck, average people don't recover from such injuries, the only thing I'm rooting for he won't get hurt much more. Kirishima with his victory in the last tournament is aiming for the yokozuna title with another yusho. With Teru's state it would be good to have another grand champion, and I think Kirishima is cool, but to be frank he doesn't have that much talent. He is good, but not that good. Still if he gets it, obviously he will deserve it. Atamifuji is at Maegeshira 1 (west). He'll have to fight all the top guys, and he doesn't have a good balance against them. His performance in the last two bashos were excellent. Perhaps he has a bit stage fright when have to face the big names. He has to overcome this mental and emotional barrier. Hakuoho is back after his share of operation on his shoulder. Hopefully he recovered enough. He is down in Makushita, probably won't be much of a problem for him, and he'll start in juryo next time. Onosato is in Makuuchi now.
