Day 13 results and day 14 pairings, Makuuchi and Juryo

[Doitsuyama 1,178]

Kisenosato's win over Kakuryu made sure the yusho will be either his or Hakuho's and the yokozuna followed up with a win over Kotoshogiku, setting up only the fifth ever pairing between two undefeated rikishi on day 14.

The sanyaku clearout continues with Tochiozan finally falling to make-koshi, Goeido one loss away and Kotooshu still not free from the kadoban tag. Takayasu clinched kachi-koshi with the win over Goeido and looks like the best candidate to get a sanyaku slot, which sounds only fair after he didn't get one with a 12-3 from M7 in Hatsu. Other emerging candidates are Tokitenku and Gagamaru from further down who already are at 9 and 10 wins.

Juryo yusho leader Kagamio finally lost another bout while all pursuers won, giving a tight yusho race at a high level with Kotoyuki and Tokushoryu catching up with him at 11-2, and Tamawashi and Tamaasuka one win behind at 10-3. At this rate it looks like the latter four will get a promotion to makuuchi.

I'm happy for Kizenryu. Saved himself with a nice kekaeshi. Now I hope that Tanzo gets one more win. I like their style of sumo and I think (and hope) they should be able to keep themselves in Juryo for a while.
