Japanese traditional sport, Sumo's summer (July) series started from 9th(Sun).
Now went through 9 days, and 6 more days to go for the final, "Senshuraku (千秋楽).
During this July series, highest rank players (Yokozuna and Ozeki) are all injured. Among them, Kirishima / 霧島 (Ozeki) came back to the series after 2 absence. Therefore the new young players have higher chance to be a champion of the competition.
Generally the champion has to have at least 12 wins out of 15 days (games).
After 9 games, there's no one with the 9-0 streak, and who is close to the champion now?
Latest standings as after 17/Jul (Mon)
(*Note: Alphabet name / JP name (Rank))
8 wins - 1 loss
Houshoryu / 豊昇龍 (Sekiwake)
Nishikigi / 錦木 (Maegashira 1)
Hokutofuji / 北勝富士 (Maegashira 9)
7 wins - 2 loses
Daieisho / 大栄翔 (Sekiwake) -★
Endo / 遠藤 (Maegashira 16)
There are 5 players with more than 7 wins, and among them only Daieisho has a ★ which means he's experienced the championship before. So there's a good chance for other 4 to become a new champion.
