Day 4 results and day 5 pairings, Makuuchi and Juryo

[Doitsuyama 1,161]

No change from the last days as all sanyaku rikishi won against lower ranked opponents, meaning quite a carnage between komusubi and M3e, totalling a single win (the kinboshi from Myogiryu) against 27 losses. Only three hiramaku rikishi are left among the leaders with Takekaze, Tokitenku and Aoiyama, but four more rikishi are still winless, among them two of the four shin-makuuchi. A third one, Azumaryu, also scored wins against those two, making Chiyootori the sole success story so far. He is by far the youngest of them at 20 years and doing really well at 3-1 after a win against undefeated Shotenro today. In fact, he is the youngest sekitori by 15 months (ahead of two more Kokonoe-beya rikishi, Chiyoarashi and Chiyoo). The highest ranked rikishi younger than Chiyootori is Terutsuyoshi at Ms19w who actually is more than two years younger so he projects for a bright future too.

Tokushoryu is the sole juryo leader now as his four co-leaders all lost. Oh, and forget what I wrote about Homasho's defensive ability - there was really nothing of oit present in today's loss to slow Tokushinho.
