Sumo Wrestling Tournament Winner - Congrats to Yokozuna Hakuho, 42nd Win!

The March tournament was full of story lines with Tochinoshin getting demoted back down to Sekiwake, Takakeisho getting promoted to Ozeki, and Hakuho winning his record extending 42nd top division tournament.  He is in beast mode with 10 more tournament wins over the closest previous Yokozuna Taiho who only had a seemingly "paltry" 32 tournament championships.  My prediction is the 34-year old Hakuho will keep competing until the Japan 2020 Olympics are over with so that he can be the face of sumo on the world's sports stage.  After that, I imagine he will have nothing left to prove in the world of sumo and will hang up his mawashi.  Here are the two latest Hakuho cards from the BBM's 2019 Sumo Card Set.

  1. Hmm... I wonder what Hakuho is making on that backstage pass card. Manju?
