Day 11 lower division results

[Doitsuyama]

The six hot candidates for juryo promotion were in action today as lead makushita Mokonami got the kachi-koshi with a win against Wakatenro and should have done enough for a repromotion. Kitataiki lost his chances as he got his first loss against Hoshihikari. The other four candidates all were kachi-koshi already and fought each other as Sakaizawa beat Chiyohakuho and Ichihara won against Wakanoho.

Ichihara most likely must win his last bout while Sakaizawa could get promoted with a 5-2, but a sxith win would ice it. My guess is these two and Chiyohakuho will face a juryo opponent while Mokonami could face Wakanoho for the seventh bout.

Hoshihikari of course is one of the 6-0 leaders with the win over Kitataiki, and his opponent must be one of the 2006 Haru entry class as both Tokitairyu and Matsutani entered Ozumo in this basho. Matsutani beat Tokitairyu with an uwatenage and both have a 33-8 career record now.

The other rikishi at 5-1 with wins today mostly are young talents with the exception of Yoshiazuma (against Raiko, another older rikishi) as Nakanokuni, Arawashi, Fukunaga and Shironoryu. In fact, 10 of the 11 rikishi at 6-0 and 5-1 qualify as talents with Daishoyu and Tochinoshin possibly joining them tomorrow.

The Tamanoi blogger Tooyama is among the rikishi getting kachi-koshi today as is Kanbayashi who seems to recover after 4-11 and 3-4 in the last two basho.

In sandanme Hikarikaze is the top ranked 6-0 rikishi wth a win over 36 years old Dewanosato. He changed his shikona this basho from Morishita after three consecutive 3-4 basho (all three with a 1-3 start and a win on senshuraku) and the shikona change seems to have been a lucky one. The other 6-0 rikishi are Kiozan with a win over Hungarian Masutoo and Mongolian Hoshizakura against Tetsuhikari.

It was rare kimarite day in sandanme as there was not one, but two tottari from Wakasuruga and Toma. Usually there is one tottari every two basho in sandanme. The okurihikiotoshi from Munakata is even rarer as this was just the 22nd instance in my database since its introduction in 2001.

Former makushita Katsunofuji won against 19 years old Hayashida and is the first jonidan rikishi at 6-0. He will likely face the winner of Masumeidai vs. Maegunzan while the winner of Tochihiryu vs. Shima may face sandanme Hoshizakura on day 13.

17 years old Daikamifusa and Russian shin-deshi Aran are the two 6-0 leaders in jonokuchi and should meet on day 13 to decide the yusho in the lowest division. It's Daikamifusa's chance to have his place in history as he would become the first Heisei-born yusho winner in any division, but I wouldn't bet on this to happen. Minami and Ri also won today and are 5-1 and 4-2.

Still no party for Gacktoh-san and me, Sugita 0-6 :-P

But some wins for Kotootori, Takakiho, Taika, Arawashi and Mokonami (Neener, neener...)

[sekihiryu]

Sakaizawa beat Chiyohakuho

he "won" with a jump out of the way henka, a real doozy textbook henka - looked bloody awful.

Sakaizawa actually walked right past me today outside the Osaka Pref Gym where the Basho is taking place, he looked kind of glum - now I know why. No-one at all recognized him (except me) - they were all going goo goo gaa gaa over the Makuuchi Rikishi.

Hoshihikari walked out through the throngs waiting to great their heroes - no one noticed him either - come 2 years everyone will be noticing those two. A lady standing beside my groped Hakuhos arm as he passed, he flicked her an evil stare before continuing on.

Ama was a big favourite of the crowd.

[Tony]

I completely agree with Sekihiryu. Sakaizawa success was awful. Poor Chiyohakuho! I was very upset this morning when I watched it.

[Gacktoh]

Still no party for Gacktoh-san and me, Sugita 0-6 (Wearing a paperbag...)

But some wins for Kotootori, Takakiho, Taika, Arawashi and Mokonami (In jonokuchi...)

Fay-san

I've found this article.

http://shizuoka.nikkansports.com/news/p-sn...320-172449.html

＜大相撲春場所＞◇９日目◇１９日◇大阪府立体育会館

東幕下２８枚目の杉田（２５＝北の湖）も星風（２３）に敗れ、５連敗となった。

長いトンネルの先が見えない。立ち合いの変化についていった杉田だが、速い流れの相撲で星風の小手投げに倒れてしまった。まさかの５連敗に「相撲の形は悪くなかったけど、下がついていけていない」と肩を落とした。痛めている左足のテーピングを外したが、踏ん張りが利かない状態。残り２番、勝つことが何よりの薬になる。

Sugita has injured the left leg. He cannot straddle. (Just what doctor ordered...)

Sugita will meet Maikaze next Torikumi, so I pray for him to win and saty in Makushita.
