Day 787

• Anyone who thinks they want to mess with former Bayley superfan Izzy Silyagi had better reconsider their position and FAST!  On top of her professional wrestling training, she also trains in MMA -- and, yesterday, in a NAGA tournament in Orlando, she actually won in a division for more experienced and heavier teen female fighters than her experience or weight would indicate.  Silyagi won in the gi-wearing 140-150 pound intermediate class -- I think, the last time she said, she MIGHT be 120!  And intermediate would indicate 1-2 years of grappling experience...
• For the victory, Silyagi received a specially engraved samurai sword!
• Today is the eighteenth and final day of the 2022 Relay For Life-Second Life Fantasy Faire.  The official total as of the end of Friday was over $76,000.  A major live auction is coming today.
• Entering said auction (more correctly, the final day itself), the Faire has raised $86,202.
  
• Speaking of Friday, the Jeopardy! championship of Mattea Roach finally came to an end, 23 wins, $560,983 -- but, in the final analysis, a championship not dissimilar to Jonathan Fisher's earlier in the season.  Fisher, the man who defeated Matt Amodio, went on a run no one could discern the reason how he became an ultrachamp.  Same principle here.  This now means 4 ultrachamps for the 2021-22 season...
• ... and Ken Jennings announces Mayim Bialik is returning for a few weeks.
• Speculation, however, is that, with Jennings being the only Jeopardy! Chaser not to return to ABC's The Chase this season (three new chasers, including the runner-up from NBC's Million Second Quiz and Jeopardy! fan favorite Buzzy Cohen, join Holzhauer and Rutter), he's going to eventually be announced as the full-time Jeopardy! host.
• ... with Michael Davies now agreeing to Executive Produce Jeopardy! going forward.
• Two thoughts:  First, The Chase apparently did "The Beast" Mark Labbett dirty -- he was not happy not to be brought forward into this season of the ABC show.  And I really hate to say it:  Does Buzzy Cohen really have the personality and the antagonism a Chaser has to intrinsically have?    
• If you want to see how bad things are in Oakland:  Even at 4-24, over 21,000 tickets were sold for Saturday's scheduled game in Cincinnati (which turned out to be Game 2).  A similar game in Oakland might draw 10-12K. 
• Bizarre day in the first day of the May sumo tournament.  Yokozuna Terunofuji and Ozeki Shodai and Takakeisho all lost.  Terunofuji was defeated by Komusubi Daiesho (hence, not a kinboshi for the latter -- "gold stars" can only be awarded to Maegashira who defeat a Yokozuna).  Shodai and Takakeisho both lost to Maegashira 2nd ranks Kotonowaka and Kiribayama.
• The third Ozeki, Mitakeumi, defeated Maegashira 1st rank Takayasu.
• For the first time in a while, none of the Ozeki face demotion (an Ozeki can only be demoted over a three-tournament process.  One losing record makes them kadoban, a second while kadoban demotes them and they have to go 10-5 or better not to have to start the climb to Ozeki all over again (which usually, similarly, takes three tournaments at an average of 11-4 or better).
• There is some discussion as to what happens if March champion Wakatakakage (who won his first match) wins this tournament as well.  Wakatakakage is a Sekiwake, the rank below Ozeki.
