Kaikitsune Makoto 210 Posted March 4, 2003 Kaio, Chiyotaikai and Asashoryu trained together at Takasago-beya 3 days ago. Chiyotaikai has complained about odd feeling in his left elbow but took off the support and had 18 bouts (8-10). Kaio was able to generate enourmous pressure when grapping the mawashi and was pleased with that. Being his modest self he said "See how bad I was, no stamina yet". Whereas that is probably very true he did win half of his bouts against yokozuna and ozeki in his first training session outside his own heya since Kyushu basho. Asashoryu only fought 12 times (3-3 against Kaio, 4-2 against Taikai). Kaio and Chiyotaikai came to Takasago-beya yesterday too. Kaio had 17 training bouts against Asasekiryu, Takamisakari, Toki and maybe others winning all 17. He is getting the sumo feel back and whereas says the right arm doesn't feel normal yet, it doesn't seem to be handicapped anymore. Asashoryu did only shiko and such to rest his shoulder which bears various pains. No sources due to half-deadness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted March 4, 2003 I know it's just training, but still, an ozeki going 8-10 8-O (Nervous...) (Oh my god...) On the other hand, Kaio going 17-0 is very impressive. But only what's in the basho counts :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenjimoto 40 Posted March 4, 2003 Hm, well, but going 8-10 against Asashoryu and Kaio, OTOH, still doesn't seem all too bad... although I am sure he didn't think so! :) Cheers!
