Tomorrow is the final day of the current Spring Basho tournament, and I'm so excited for Ichinojo who has a chance to win his first tournament.
Having had poor showings in the last few tournaments he had been severely demoted in rankings.
From Day 1 of this spring tournament, I noticed a change in the normally mild and unaggressive Ichinojo. A fire seems to have been lit.
Day 14 shows Ichinojo with 13 wins and 1 loss. Standing in Ichinojo's way, however, is the amazing Yokozuna Hakuho who has already won a record-breaking 41 championships.
Hakuho is undefeated in this tournament, but faces fellow yokozuna Kakuryu tomorrow. If Hakuho should lose and Ichinojo wins his match, there will be a playoff.
Go Ichinojo!
