Sadanoumi turns 37 just before the basho, and he'd be sumo's resident old man if not for Tamawashi. His 8-7 last time out is actually quite impressive and gives him space from a Juryo drop. Despite being older than many recent retirees in the sport, he's still able to outclass younger men regularly enough to win.
