I don’t think the hamstring injury is going to carry over into this tournament. He’s looking very good on exhibition and in some open practises. If Ōnosato and Aonishiki might still be a little rusty, so this might be a very good opportunity for Hōshōryū to add to his slightly underwhelming </span><em>yushō</em><span> haul.</span></p><p style="margin:0 0 20px 0;color:rgb(54,55,55);line-height:26px;font-size:16px"><span>I like the progression I’ve seen with </span><strong>Atamifuji</strong><span> this year. He hasn’t been flashy, but he’s slowly and gradually improved his ranking and standing in the sport. And he’s still only 23. He’s always had great size and his </span><em>yotsu-zumō</em><span> (grappling) is extremely good; especially when he uses </span><em>gaburi-yori</em><span> (torso thrusting). His mentality let him down in the past. He used to get nervous before the big matches. But he seems to have conquered that and even developed a bit of a mean streak. I think that’s all a good sign for a Atami-pudding </span><em>yushō</em><span> in the very near future.</span></p><h2 style="font-family:'SF Pro Display',-apple-system-headline,system-ui,-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,'Apple Color Emoji','Segoe UI Emoji','Segoe UI Symbol';font-weight:bold;margin:1em 0 0.625em 0;color:rgb(54,55,55);line-height:1.16em;font-size:calc(1.625em*1)">11 wins</h2><ul style="margin-top:0;padding:0"><li style="margin:8px 0 0 32px"><p style="color:rgb(54,55,55);line-height:26px;margin-bottom:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding-left:4px;font-size:16px;margin:0">Y1w Ōnosato</p></li></ul><p style="margin:0 0 20px 0;color:rgb(54,55,55);line-height:26px;font-size:16px"><span>This is assuming that </span><strong>Ōnosato</strong><span> is able to make it through fifteen days of competition.
