Day 8 results and day 9 pairings

[Doitsuyama 1,156]

Ozeki Chiyotaikai lost to Sekiwake Wakanosato in a rather convincing fashion - it really wasn't close. Since Jumonji lost another exciting bout to Asasekiryu, Yokozuna Asashoryu already has a lead of two wins after Nakabi. I guess he should be everyone's yusho favorite by now.

Musoyama looked weak against Tamanoshima and will find it difficult to get kachi-koshi. Tochiazuma seems to have lost the first bout against Dejima, but a tori-naoshi was called which Tochiazuma won easily.

Nothing new in Juryo as four of seven leaders lost today. Only one constant thing here - Tochisakae never lost the lead since day 1. Sumanofuji heads back to Makushita in record time.
