高砂部屋の部屋開きがありました。
土俵祭などの後には公開稽古があり、元横綱・朝青龍は朝紅龍や朝乃山にアドバイスを送っていました。
その内容について朝乃山は、「どちらかと言うと精神的なことです。気に掛けてくださってうれしい」。春場所には出場予定とのことです。

Will Hoshoryu give away a lot of kinboshis? How will we know?
A kinboshi happens when a Yokozuna is defeated on the dohyo by a maegashira. At Ozeki when Hoshoryu has faced Maegashira wrestlers his record is:
63 win 25 losses.
Winning 72%
Is this good?
Let’s check the stats

What we see here are the guys who probably weren’t good enough coming in under 60-65% (whether due to ability or injury) and the guys up over 70 who probably were good enough but either hit too many other high rankers or couldn’t put together the run for other reasons.

I’ve followed this stat for a while and think it’s really useful to see where an Ozeki is at. Some periods like the 2010s have tons of Ozekis and Yokozunas so it’s hard to tell how good guys are on record alone but the quality of M1-M4 is probably a lot more constant.

Narrator: The people were not happy with Tim being content
I think I’ll just have to be content with the fact that Takakeisho absolutely earned the title of Yokozuna twice and was denied cos he was either too short, not a belt fighter or was Takanohana’s prodigy. Nothing else really makes sense at this point.

It looks like Hoshoryu is going to be promoted to Yokozuna. This is a guy I’ve had high hopes for since his debut. He’s had to be compared to his uncle of all people for his whole career but he’s done things his way instead. He’s earned everything he gets. Amazing rikishi.

I’m really hoping we get a few Yokozuna. The Mongolian era feels over. Hoshoryu is one of a bunch of super talented Yokozuna level talents and the rest are all Japanese. Could we see Kotozakura and Onosato join him soon. Three young stars all doing their dohyo iri would be epic
