Doitsuyama 1,178 Posted May 23, 2010 Happy faces all around as Hakuho is riding his win streak (now 32 wins) close to his personal best of 33 wins to clinch his second consecutive zensho yusho while Kaio gets his 1000th career win fittingly on SENshuraku against obliging Kotooshu. Baruto lost to Kotomitsuki but the shin-ozeki still posted the best ozeki score at 10-5 as the four established ozeki all finished 9-6, so the Estonian will be #2 on the next banzuke and slotted to face Hakuho on senshuraku. Komusubi Tochiozan fought well in the last days to avoid make-koshi only to lose to Tokitenku and give room for a second sanyaku promotion, which should go to Hakuba and kanto-sho winning Tochinoshin, with Asasekiryu at M1e despite the win over sekiwake Kisenosato today. Aran had the easy jun-yusho in the end, beating Hokutoriki to finish with 12-3 and also getting a kanto-sho after posting a dysmal 1-14 last basho. Bushuyama uwatenage'd Sadanofuji back to makushita to avoid a five rikishi kettei-sen and win the juryo yusho outright, his second one. Tamaasuka won against Futeno and will be back in makuuchi along with Bushuyama and debuting Gagamaru. If Iwakiyama is sent down as a fourth demotion (likely) then Shotenro will get a surprise promotion - surprising because he was 4-7 after day 11, but he recovered and beat Toyozakura today to finish 8-7. Speaking of strong finishes, Kanbayashi seems to now possess the mojo from Kirinowaka as he started 1-5, but finished 7-8 to just avoid demotion to makushita. Shin-juryo Matsutani had a rather weak finish but still has a respectable 9-6 record.

Asashosakari 19,150 Posted May 23, 2010 while Kaio gets his 1000th career win fittingly on SENshuraku against obliging Kotooshu. I was completely shocked that so many (per ISP and Toto) didn't think it would happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raishu 208 Posted May 23, 2010 while Kaio gets his 1000th career win I've never heard he KK erupt with such loud applause. And "Kaio" chants even after the bout. Haven't seen this before (but I must admit, that I do not watch the live broadcast regularly). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
