[sumo] Thrilling Summer Basho showed sumo's potential to…

[Carol Tan]

Indeed.  Assuming that this may well be Hakuho’s last basho, let’s hope that he displays at least some of the skill that’s earned him the reputation as ’the best ever.’  Seeing him pitted against Teronofuji with his inspiring backstory would be a great way to ‘pass the torch.’

With fingers crossed, 

Carol

I don't know one way or the other, but the YDC is always looking for another Japanese yokozuna.  If Takakeisho goes zensho he might get it, especially if Hakuho is still around at the end.  Kisenosato was promoted after jun-yusho, yusho and that was his first Emperor's Cup.  At least Takakeisho would win his second.

That would be cool.  But I don't remember seeing any talk about Takakeisho along those lines.  Has anyone else heard any discussion of his chances?
