Ok, I got it right the first time. Bouts, Makuuchi rikishi only. All the others are there for other reasons. 
 

本来は十両以上の関取衆らが参加するが、今巡業では原則、関取衆は幕内力士のみが参加するなどの新型コロナ感染対策がとられた

Any complaints to be forwarded to the reporter.

As a Corona measure, the jungyo was planned to have sekitori only from makuuchi and not as usual all of them. The makushita who take part in a jungyo were in the past usually the tsukebito and the locals.

In Tachikawa, to replenish the Corona reduced ranks, 7 juryo were called to fill in: Ryuden, Tokushoryu, Kagayaki, Churanoumi, Asanowaka, Tochimaru, Shimazuumi (but not Chiyosakae)

The three Ozeki decided to do some bouts between themselves (winner stays in the ring style) to "liven up the crowds," as Mitakeumi (looked a bit heavy but had 12 bouts) put it. "We can't actually interact with the crowd, so we thought we should properly do some sumo," he added. "I am healthy for sure. No symptoms," he said after being inflicted with the virus  a few weeks ago. "It's really too bad, I was planning on escaping kadoban and had to leave the basho.. Still, I hope to gambarize as an Ozeki next basho as well. I'd like to get 10 wins," he summed. In case anyone still had doubts about his rank next basho, well..

Ichinojou spoke to the press today. "I've forgotten what the jungyo is like. It's good, as expected. I missed this. I really would have liked to get my picture taken with the fans, but.." he said. He is being congratulated on his first yusho everywhere he goes.

As there is no official interaction allowed with the fans, the Kyokai comes up with some workarounds. One of them is the newly established "Question Quorner", where kids can ask rikishi questions. Today, to answer your questions, we have Wakatakakage and Hokutofuji. I think this is one of the best interviews i have ever translated..

Q: What do you do in your spare time?

Waka: I prepare fish..

Q: What do you do when you're on holiday?

Hoku: I go to the park with my kids or just play with them.

Q: What have you been enjoying lately?

Waka: I'm enjoying the daily keiko..

Q: I think the rikishi have a soft body, but can you do a "bridge"??

Hoku: I used to be able to , but nowadays I can't because my body has grown big..

Q: How much rice do you consume a day?

Waka: I'd say about 5 big bowls.

Q: What is your favorite technique?

Hoku: My favorite technique is oshidashi.

Q: What was your hobby when you were in elementary school?

Waka: I used to read the manga "One Piece". I still do..

Q: Do you wear a yukata when you sleep as well as when you go out?

Hoku: I usually sleep in a tee shirt and shorts. When I go out, I wear a yukata or a kimono.

Q: Why did you become a rikishi?

Waka: My father, my brothers and my grandfather were/are rikishi so we are a "sumo household.."

Hoku: My body was already large as a child- the first time I entered a children's sumo tournament i lost and I was sad so that made me decide to take it more seriously.

Q: Do you have to grow your hair to become a rikishi?

Waka: When I became a rikishi I was totally bald.. Since then i have been growing my hair and have reached my current hairdo..

Q: How long do you train every day?

Hoku: We start around 8 am and finish at around 11 am, eat, and take a nap. Then, some training for 1-2 hours in the afternoon.

Q: What sports did you do when you were little?

Waka: I've been doing sumo since I was little, but also did some judo and track and field.

Hoku:  I started skiing at the age of three, did some swimming, some sumo, basketball and judo as well.

Day 4 Koga, Ibaraki - the nowadays rare full house banners down, a sellout had been announced, about 2200 attended.

The locals likely wanted to see local Chiyonokuni, but he had not been among the reported juryo to fill in - no reports yet if he was there. Ibaraki local Takayasu therefore is in the focus - Ichinojo's yusho fires him up.

Final day, Takakeishou out sick, Mitakeumi out due to Covid at his heya, so maybe that’s still a thing after all. “Too bad this had to happen on the last day,” said jungyo chief Irumagawa.

Looks like each heya can handle it as it wants to - or Mitakeumi as an ozeki can do as he likes, he decided to go kyujo in the morning: it's unlikely that he'll be positive again after just having been infected at the Nagoya basho - overcautious or happy to have found an excuse to skip the jungyo?

Takakeisho felt sick immediately after arrival and told it to the chief, who ordered him to go home and take a test http://hochi.news/articles/20220814-OHT1T51093.html?page=1

Head of the jungyo department Kasugano wasn't there the whole 5 days and let deputy Irumagawa head the jungyo: looks like he also was hit seriously by the virus.

One mystery solved. Apparently the jungyō oyakata asked Hōshōryū to do something to pep up the spectators, so he decided to do the Asashōryū since he knew it by heart, having watched it since he was a kid. Asashōryū himself laughed when told.

Final day, Takakeishou out sick, Mitakeumi out due to Covid at his heya, so maybe that’s still a thing after all.

Looks like each heya can handle it as it wants to - or Mitakeumi as an ozeki can do as he likes, he decided to go kyujo in the morning: it's unlikely that he'll be positive again after just having been infected at the Nagoya basho - overcautious or happy to have found an excuse to skip the jungyo?

Takakeisho felt sick immediately after arrival and told it to the chief, who ordered him to go home and take a test

Shibatayama announced today that Takakeisho has tested negative, his symptoms have disappeared. Nobody was reported infected of those who were at the jungyo http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/sports/sumou/4385393/
