I'm cheering for Aonishiki. I'm an Onosato fan too, but for him to win he'd have to fight at least 3 bouts in a row, and that's gotta be bad for his injury.

I also want everyone to win, but most of all for Aonishiki.

now

can there be 3 yokozunas?

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes there can be 3 yokozunas. As I understand it, it's very unlikely for Aonishiki to be yokozuna after this tournament, but after next tournament it is possible depending on what happens. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makuuchi#Criteria_for_promotion

indeed

The de facto standard is to win two consecutive championships as ōzeki or an equivalent performance.
