Sumo – Final Results

I predicted that Hakuho will win the March tournament.

Well, I was wrong, and Yokozuna Asashoryu won.

Tournament winners

Sumo – First Week

Unfortunately, or luckily, I was too busy during my visit to Japan, so I couldn’t follow the March Sumo Tournament.

But, the Sumo website is wonderful in providing real time (and streaming) information, so I am planning to follow it.

Current results:
Asashoryu is 7-0
Hakuho is 6-1
while Kotooshu is 2-5.

So, the big question is who will win? Mongolian Yokozuna Asashoryu or Mongolian Yokozuna Hakuho.
I am placing my bet on Hakuho.

Yokozuna Asashoryu suspended for playing soccer

From Mainichi :

“The Japan Sumo Association (JSA) on Wednesday suspended Yokozuna Asashoryu for two upcoming tournaments after he played in a charity soccer game in Mongolia despite having sat out a regional sumo tour in Japan after claiming to be injured”.

I guess this means Hakuho (白鵬) will win the next two tournaments.
