Onosato promoted to Yokozuna

[Roux]

I'm definitely no expert but I do watch some sumo every so often. And Onosato has just made history, being promoted to Yokozuna, something that has only happened 75 times in sumo history.

Sumo works kinda like European soccer, with different divisions and teams/wrestlers getting promoted or demoted depending on their record.

Anytime someone gets promoted to Yokozuna it is a Big Deal, but this time especially so because Onosato is Japanese. Recently, most of the top sumo wrestlers have been Mongolian, and the only other current Yokozuna is Mongolian, so later this year when Onosato and Hoshoryu have their match, it will be huge.

This thread is like the white smoke emanating from the chimney, but for sumo wrestlers.

..."so later this year when Onosato and Hoshoryu have their match, it will be huge."

This cannot go unappreciated.

Not so special. There have been only 14 Dalai Lamas.

If there is prize yen involved, hopefully he can afford to do more than cover himself with a rug.
