[sumo] Jungyo news -August 3rd

[moti <sumo@dichne.com>]

Asahouryuu is back in the ring. He had 10 bouts in keiko against 
Tochinonada, Kasugaou and Futenou, winning 9. Reporters say he was dead 
serious and in "attack" mode.
One bout against Musashimaru -musubi no ichiban at the arena- (This the 
first meeting between them as Yokozuna in any form)Went for the throat, 
got morozashi- yorikiri- crowd cheered wildly.. We know that these 
jungyo bouts aren't all-out ones, but still.. He is not taped at all. He 
still is not saying a word to the press. According to a tsukebito, he is 
not being treated for the neck injury, and even has stopped the 
massages. It was the first time in 6 years that the house was full (3000 
people), said Sakaigawa Oyakata. "Asashouryuu was slated to do only the 
dohyo iri during the jungyo. He changed his mind, and came out", he added.
Reporter says he seems to have healed physically, but his "spirit" is 
still "injured", resulting in his keeping completely to himself and not 
speaking to the press.
