Hatsu Basho 2026 - Day 13
Yokozuna Yumezukuri was the only winner among the leaders (with some very bad luck for Hakumadashi, who lost because he missed the Hakunofuji kyujo anouncement). The Yokozuna is now a firm favourite for the yusho with his strong scoring.
Speaking of strong scoring, points leader of all divisions Joaozan is the sole leader of the Juryo division. And Hagamachikuni lost in Makushita so it's now a leader board of four players. Can Marumaru, Masanoumi and Fia take advantage?

Hatsu Basho 2026 - Day 12
Yokozuna Yumezukuri returned to winning days and still leads along with Hakumadashi and Boloyaki. Yumezukuri currently has the edge in scoring so he is in pole position with three days remaining.
Akoushousan slipped up in Juryo and allowed Joaozan into the hunt. Balon is one win off the pace. And it's another win for sole Makushita leader Hagamachikuni. Three hopefuls are waiting for a mistake.
And sadly Sekiwake Trender's Ozeki promotion dream is over for now. Yet another unlucky loss today. He'll be back, no doubt about that.

Hatsu Basho 2026 - Day 11
More upsets at the top of the leaderboard as Yokozuna Yumezukuri and Boloyaki lost, allowing Hakumadashi and Rupatengu back into contention.
Another win in Juryo for Akoushousan and he is 9-2 now. Joaozan is one win behind. Hagamachikuni is the first player to reach double digits in Makushita.

Hatsu Basho 2026 - Day 10
Yokozuna Yumezukuri and Boloyaki both won to secure a day-10 kachikoshi and a share of the yusho lead.
Akoushousan did the same in Juryo and is all alone at the top. Hagamachikuni and Fia lead Makushita with 9 wins.

Hatsu Basho 2026 - Day 9
Yesterday's sole leader Rupatengu lost and allowed Yokozuna Yumezukuri and Boloyaki into the shared lead.
Akoushousan won again to take the 7-1 lead in Juryo. Hagamachikuni, Fia and Yonisan lead Makushita with early winning records.
And I thought my luck was bad this tournament but it's nothing on the horror show befalling Sekiwake Trender, who loses his seventh straight despite posting yet another excellent score. He now needs to win all six remaining days to the get the nod for Ozeki promotion. Awful luck against a great player.
