Remember Chiyotenzan?

In Makushita now, he must have an outstanding Henka bilance...

so his opponent on day 7 knew and his Tachi ai looked like the one of Kyokushuzan in his last years- just standing up, not moving voreward- Chiyotenzan was about to do a Henka and had no idea what to do now- so he was forced out very quick (Holiday feeling...) That was intelligent Sumo- it's good to know the opponent- and somebody like Chiyotenzan is known well...

Ah yes, I remember him well, and if only I could see the makushita matches, I would have had a good laugh over that one, I'm sure...well I guess I could watch the stream, but with all else on my plate, there just isn't time. The Henka Sightings is only for makuuchi anyway (too bad about my other 'real' life)... (Shaking head...)

Before the official nominations of day 11 are coming - Here's my nr.1 for this day:

Roho in his match against Kasugao.

Do you think the same?

[Heikotoriki 3]

I know, only maegashira-pairings, but when you see this bout, you know, what a real henka is. I hope, there will be a movie of this bout on day 11. The fight is

Ms2w Sakaizawa (5-1) tsukiotoshi Ms1w Chiyohakuho (4-2)

I have seen this fight and I wonder, how a winning technique can be announced :-P , because of there is no touch from Sakaizawa. He steps at the side an Chiyohakuho flies near the ground from west to east. (Neener, neener...)

Roho in his match against Kasugao.

Do you think the same?

Absolutely. That was also extremely lame. Roho is out of shape. Totally. I suppose he is so afraid of another banzuke drop that this is just beginning...

[Sashohitowa 6]

Kyoku-HENK-ho got his second win just now. Again with a henka. (Or with something that was not a henka, but only looked like one). I think that he intends to compete with Roho for the "Henka King" (Showing respect...)

[Tikozan 4]

Day 12

Well, I've seen a big henka from Kakuryu in his match against Takamisakari.

But robocop was good enough to turn this match and win.

TOCHINONADA vs. Roho

Check out Ngozi's videos on banzuke.com when Day 12 matches are posted. Videos are also available on Infosumo here. It's in French and a little complicated since you have to register (I can't remember how I finally got it to work) and then figure out where to click, but once you get all that done and figured out, it's very easy to use on a daily basis after that.
