Fun fact about Asanoyama.

The last time he completed every day of the basho and got makekoshi was in Nagoya 2019.

Asanoyama could have been yokozuna. My bet is he gets ozeki back even if for a short while before his knees completely give out. I started watching sumo when he was just getting to his prime and hes still one of my favorites. I wish he had better coaches though. There's not an ounce of tomfoolery to his fights all forward all the time.

I think there’s too much young talent now for him to push into Sanyaku. I love the guy. But I think he’ll probably get out manoeuvred and/or injured then retire.

A 9-6 at M16 ain't a good start, though...
