More on Sakari's pathetic assgeiko

[Kintamayama 47,179]

Takamisakari came for degeiko at Tomozuna yesterday, where he met KaioU

and Kotonowaka, among others. Last basho, KaioU criticized Sakari for

not being a "man", by doing lousy keiko and going all-out only in

honbasho. (after he lost to him, I might add subtly..). Well, he ate

dirt yesterday over and over again. He was extra weak and looked really

bad. When he fell down especially hard after being manhandled by KaioU,

Akebono Oyakata shouted, " Don't hold back with your strength!! You'll

be injured!!" "You're really funny", added KaioU. The usually gentle

Kotonowaka added angrily, " He is not going all out. I am!"

"I had a great workout today. The Ozeki is very strong. I'll have to do

better", said Sakari. "I don't hate the guy. But from now on I'll be

stating my mind!!", said KaioU.

KaioU was looking very strong. He fought Sakari, Kotonowaka, Kotomitsuki

and others, and showed great movement and strength. He lost only once out of 23. He had some taping on his right knee, but said

"Since it was quite cold today, I was taped up for that reason only. I

have no pain at all. In Aki, my feeling and my body and everything else was bad. In order for that not to happen again, I'm doing everything at my own pace."

Asashouryuu has still to resume full keiko, after his minor waist injury

suffered during jungyo. He donned a mawashi, but didn't enter the ring.

He just had a conversation with Chiyotaikai and others who came for

degeiko. "Sure is cold. My left elbow feels a bit stiff," he said.

There was a freezing wind blowing, so he wasn't taking any chances and

took the day off. He did some butsugari-geiko with Makushita and unders the day before, and added " I'm geared up for the coming Basho, but I'd say I'm 60% fit physically at the moment". There are still 10 days to go, and Asa, who hates delaying his preparations, is waiting to get back to full preparations as soon as possible.

His only loss was to Kotoryuu, by tsukiotoshi.

I knew we had to have some intrigue with Kaio. First he's injured, then he's not. It can never be easy predicting how well he's going to do (In a state of confusion...)

Woohoo! Go Kotoryu! (Applauding...)
