Re: on this day: 1988-Sentoryu

[Barbara Ann Klein <baklein@attglobal.net>]

Sentoryu completed this basho with a 4-3, not entirely happy, but not
entirely unhappy, either. He really wanted to ace the last two bouts to make
a 6-1 basho. 

On his last two losses, he actually slipped on the dohyo to lose the first
and the second was a case of mind over matter. He didn't expect his opponent
to charge in the manner that he did and lost some concentration. The bout
was nevertheless a good one. His last few bouts were scheduled after the
juryo dohyo iri.

He said he is feeling fine, no leftover achilles problems, and will rise up
the banzuke a bit.
