• An Opposite-End Milestone

    From Louis Epstein@24:150/2 to rec.sport.sumo on Sat Nov 27 08:24:38 2021
    Winless Sawaisamu managed to achieve his 500th career
    bottom division defeat!

    He's 44 years old and hasn't had a winning record in
    4 years with an all-time career high rank of Jonidan 53
    (seven years ago,after decades of trying).

    -=-=-
    The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

    Does he make a living doing that? Doesn't his stable give up?

    He's at Shikihide-beya,which is known for accepting
    untalented wrestlers.(Of their 18 wrestlers in the
    November basho,14 had losing records...one in the
    bottom tenth of makushita went 1-6,two in sandanme
    went 2-5,the rest ranked lower).

    This was his record 134th make-koshi basho.

    He's 44 years old and hasn't had a winning record in
    4 years with an all-time career high rank of Jonidan 53
    (seven years ago,after decades of trying).

    Maybe he's from a wealthy family who are happy to subsidise his 'hobby'.
