Hakuhō Shō

But if we can try to convert it to something that's less negative, then a lot of times we can perform very well.

And I think what we're saying with the sumo idea, then we have the idea of Hakuho.

So Hakuho was, I think, still like the very best to ever do sumo.

And so even though at a Yokozuna level, if he was participating in the tournament, chances are he was going to win.

It'd be really cool to get an interview with him on his mindset and all, but since I don't have that, there was a recent interview with three-time Olympic gold medalist Aileen Gu.

And, um, uh, yeah, he just couldn't perform.

So, um, And potentially that's what's happening now with Hoshoryu.

And so then you got to be thinking about like how can you have that mindset that's more of like, say back in the old days that we have, we have Hakuhou and then we have these other really great Yokozuna's who were there for the longest time.

So coming up in the near future, which I spent a lot of time working on since we haven't been preparing any other deep dives, we're going to revisit the Asashoryu deep dive.

And we're also going to revisit our Hakuho deep dives as well.

Yes, and the difference that we'll now have, as well as being condensed, they will last no longer than 30 minutes per part.

So unlike our Hakuho episode that I think was two parts of about two hours, it would be 30 minute part one, 30 minute part two, and so on and so forth.

Nice bite-sized chunks.

Yeah, I think when we first started doing them, we hadn't really gotten used to where all of the information about certain rikshi was or where you'd go to find it.

Yeah, Ha- Hakanofuji has had some injuries as of late, but he's still able to produce winning tournaments even with the injuries.

He i- was originally a, um, Hakuhō recruit, so it's kind of like seeing a Hakuhō guy up this high.

Uh, yeah, we all love him.

Um, he's a wrecking ball of a sumo wrestler, and can't wait to see how he does up here.

I hope so too.

Yeah, but prior to that... you may have remembered Sei Hakuho as his former name.

And he is directly related to Miyagano when it was around, and most certainly Hakuho, whose part of his old name was Hakuho.

Now, like I said, he's from Mongolia.

His real name is, here we go, Us...

And they all came over from...

Miyagino.

So Sei Hakuho was the foreign-born pony that Hakuho was waiting for.

And look, I'm not even wearing over here.

I'm not even wearing my Hakuho mask that has like a Luxembourgish hat with a feather on it.

See, left it over there.

He's got some new style.

Good

for you, Hakuho.

It's been at least a year.

Really? No, I don't think so.
