Day 14 lower division results

[Doitsuyama 1,156]

There were two more juryo visits today with Shironoryu falling to make-koshi and Higonojo clinching kachi-koshi against Masuraumi and getting closer to the promised land from his current career high rank. Immediate promotion is rather unlikely as #7 in the promotion line behind Yamaguchi, Kotoyutaka, Kei, Terashita (all sure promotions), Satoyama and Arawashi. But he may still get very lucky as four demotions from juryo are pretty sure with Takanoiwa and Masakaze having tough opponents in must win bouts tomorrow. Additionally, the two kyujo Hokutokuni and Kyokushuho may get demoted.

In other makushita news Tochiyashiki clinched kachi-koshi and will enter the promotion zone for the first time next basho. Akiseyama had a good basho, getting six wins for the first time since Hatsu 2011 (including a couple of juryo basho...). Tatsu finished with a win over Seiro, getting a second consecutive 5-2 score. Other notable rikishi clinching kachi-koshi today are Saishin, Irie, Hokaho, Takatoshi and Kyokutaisei (after a 0-3 start). A new makushita next basho will be 20-year-old Aiyama from Kitanoumi-beya with the win today, giving him the 4-3 he needed.

If it wasn't for Dairaido's strong basho, 18-year-old Tatsu would already be Takadagawa-beya-gashira in Aki. I wonder what Ryuden thinks about getting passed by him...

And what's gotten into 31-year-old Asatenmai lately? He already looked good in May, and added a really strong all-around performance this basho, nothing fluky about his 6-1 (near his career-high!) at all.

Windmilling at its finest:

Hokahooooo, yes he made it and could get a kachi koshi again. He looked very confident this basho. It will still be a long hard way to sekitori, but I'm sure we will make it. :-)

Wakamisho had his first makekoshi and seems to be a bit embarrassed. I hope he finally realizes that he can't do everything with power but should have some technical skills too.

And happy for Seiro with another kachikoshi. He is getting stronger and better and has the skills I miss for Wakamisho.
