Wew, sumo again on the 11th!
Hopefully we're going to get source - then we start in the usual time of 18:30 CET!

What can be expected?
The rivalry between Onosato and Hoshoryu surely will be upset by Aonishiki, who is aiming for the yokozuna title. Expecting a three way competition with no real danger from anyone else.
Im hoping OHO will have a great run, and I'm curious what Yoshinofuji can put onto the table.
Takayas' is sekiwake, but no real hope for tournament victory, the young lions are just too tough.

Will Shishi be able to save his chops?
Asanoyama and Hatsuyama is up in makuuchi, ought to be interesting. And Asahakruyu will have his debut.

In juryo:
Fujiryoga was great last tournament, now he starts at #3.
Takerufuji is at #5, has he recovered? Hope so.
