Musahigawa Beya Training Report

[Joe Kuroda <joe_kuroda@yahoo.com>]

Miyabiyama
-----------
New ozeki Miyabiyama has pledged he would face the
Nagoya Basho with more seriousness and display sumo
that he can be proud of.  He has lost one of his
biggest supporters, the chairman of his Ibaraki
Prefecture Supporters Club, former Government Cabinet
Secretary Minister Seiroku Kajiyama on June 2.    "I
was hearing he was recovering so this is a great
shock," Miyabiyama said, "I really wanted him to see
me at the Nagoya, as a new ozeki".   

"But now I want to do well to show my appreciation and
have the basho I won't be ashamed of".   To show the
resolve Miyabiyama had 25 "moshi-ai" training sessions
on June 7 and won 6 out of 12 matches against Dejima
whom normally he has a trouble winning.   


Musashimaru
------------
Yokozuna Musashimaru has resumed his training on the
dohyo at Musashigawas Beya on June 7.  He has been
doing light exercises in the training room since he
injured his right knee and missed the Natsu Basho.

He had training sessions with non-sekitori rikishis
and is planning to start a daily full training session
if he feels the injury does not bother him.

Asked about his knee, he just said, "It's normal".  It
appears that the knee is improving gradually.
