[sumo] [Sumo news] - Daieishou

[Emmett Wayne]

 So...it is quite possible for all three of them to achieve the required wins in the same basho.  If they all do well early and handle the Komusubis well, and then kind of round robin each other, it is not unlikely, even if they all lost to Terunofuji.  So my questions are:
1.  Have three Sekiwakes ever been promoted to Ozeki after the same basho?  (I don't remember so)
2.  Has there every been 5 Ozekis (or more) on the banzuke at one time?  (I can't remember)
3.  Is there any kind of glass wall that would prevent either of these events from happening?
Thanks.

 Sekiwake Daieishou is training very hard, aiming for that Ozeki promotion. About 20 bouts every day. Today, it was 24 bouts at home against the likes of Endou (healthy?) and Tobizaru. He has been dominating his heyamates with his oshi-tsuki but has also shown some belt work. Even when driven back to the edge; he has seen his opponents well and dealt with them accordingly. He has visited Sadogatake beya for degeiko as well. Having 22 wins in his last two bashos, he needs 11 wins to be promoted but Wakamotoharu and Houshouryuu (21 wins) are close to the required numbers as well. "When i entered sumo I didn't dream of becoming Ozeki. But coming this far, I feel I really want to make it. I want to go about it as usual, but I feel my fighting spirit is stronger than usual. If i can show that during the basho.. I know i need 11 wins but I'll be dealing with it on a daily basis and will try to win the bout at hand," he said.
