Honestly good for him, hes up against it enough without being injured.

Sucks for Ishiura. Probably his injury from last time still bothering him rather than Covid since there’s no indication that Enho and others are out too so it looks like he’s out of Makuuchi.

Similarly updated my M11+ picks, though with my luck Meisei will end up kyujo as well, and I'll have to rely on glorious Chiyoshoma henkas to take me to KK down there.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Some great action and big spills right out of the gate. I'd be terrified to be in the crowd for that Mitakeumi vs Takayasu bout. Also poor Teru did not look good

edit: oh yeah, I also updated my picks when Ishiura was declared kyujo. Question for Kenning: when are our picks registered? Do you collect them one by one as they are posted or do you do a sweep once the basho i about to start? I.e. do we need to announce if we update our picks leading up to the basho?

:unsmith:
Teru Daiesho always seems to cause him problems but that was a very flat performance from the Yokozuna and given his past issues I hope he isn't cooked. Definitely picked him with my heart this time in the hopes we'd get another dominant Basho from him but yeesh, he doesn't look healthy at all.

Pretty okay with my picks! Tochinoshin is basically a guaranteed MK at M9 but I can't not support him. Speaking of he took a really nasty spill off of the dohyo today, looked like he rolled backward right over his neck and head after that bad knee gave up on him :ohdear:

Edit: 2 2-3 days in a row... yeah, gonna be another MK for me, this fantasy sumo
