Sumo news - Sept 6

[Jonosuke]

At least one Ozeki looks to be pretty "genki". Tochiazuma went to Dewanoumi Beya sponsored training session held at Kasugano Beya on September 6. He had 15 bouts against sekitoris including Musashigawa's Miyabiyama and Dejima and won 12 out of 15.

He says he is still suffering from his old left ankle injury but trying his best to make the final preparation for Aki. "Actually I want to get liquid out of there but you know I have to do training as well," Tochiazuma said. He is also showing a concern towards his fellow Ozeki Kaio, "After all he didn't get injured because he wanted to."

Meanwhile Kaio did take it easy at his home rather than going to a hospital on September 6 after injuuring his right thigh on September 4. "When we look at his past history, it's possible for him to start competing next week. You know what's the point of being a rikishi if he doesn't compete," Tomozuna oyakata said but he indicated the final decision rests with Kaio himself.

New Juryo Baruto now has two kesho mawashis. As some of you remember he got one from Supporters Club with a Viking helmet design but now has been given one from an Estonian businessman and the Embasssy. Its design features Estonian flag. Baruto is training against sekitoris daily for the Aki Basho. "Right now I am totally exhausted but I really want to do all my best," Baruto said.

Did Kakizoe keiko with other someone?

Is the reason Kakizoe is not found that he was injured by Asa's Nimaigeri in the Souken ?
