Day 11 results and day 12 pairings, Makuuchi and Juryo

[Doitsuyama 1,173]

The two leaders Hakuho and Kisenosato and pursuer Kakuryu had no trouble winning their bouts today, while the next two pursuers met each other, with Harumafuji staying two wins behind Hakuho and Kotoshogiku dropping out of the yusho race. Tomorrow we are guaranteed to have more decisive action in the yusho race with the four leaders involved in the last two bouts of the day.

Tochiozan and to a lesser extent Goeido look like in big danger of make-koshi but both have only opponents left which are beatable, the toughest one for Tochiozan might be Toyonoshima tomorrow already. Myogiryu clinched kachi-koshi already and is sure to get into sanyaku next basho while the other lead maegashira Aminishiki fell to make-koshi. All four shin-nyumaku lost today with Homarefuji make-koshi now.

In juryo there was only the second and third bout this basho between two of the four leaders, and Kagamio won against Kotoyuki with the trendy tottari (fifth in sekitori bouts already this basho) while Tokushoryu beat Tamaasuka. The torikumi tomorrow is designed to keep the yusho race close with the two new leaders facing each other and the two pursuers getting laughers against Kimurayama and Sagatsukasa. Lead juryo Tamawashi is watching two wins behind, getting kachi-koshi and ensuring makuuchi return today.
