Congratulations, Hakuho!
Hakuho just won his 12th total and 4th perfect tournament yesterday! He also set a new record for the most victories in a year with 86, beating Asashoryu's previous record of 84. It looks like the era of Asashoryu has ended and the era of Hakuho has begun!

How old is Asahoryu? Sounds like you are counting him out already - does he have some injuries or something? Just a few months ago you were calling him "The Big Yokazuna"...
He had had rather extensive injuries and hasn't been in top shape for a while. He's only 20-something, but unfortunately the shelf-life of a sumo is fairly short.
Very sad to read about Asashoryu's somewhat forced retirement. I'll miss him.
