[sumo] more on the 1-day Nagoya tournament

[moti <sumo@dichne.com>]

Well, I guess all you guys out there who saw the show on TV have better
things to do/have a life than to tell us what you saw,so I'll go on
trying to gather bits and pieces from various sources.
Takanowaka won the Juryo tournament.
"I like Nagoya, so I took each bout at a time and did my best to win",
said Asashouryuu. Last year, he clinched the Ozeki berth in Nagoya,
which is a good omen for him. OTOH, all that strife with Shoes on
happened in Nagoya as well, and of course, his first ever kyujo. "The
atmosphere was great, and the fans seemed to be happy," he added with
satisfaction. "I'd like to do good keiko,", he said, getting ready for
Aki Jungyo.
Asashouryuu went all out, as if it were a honbasho. He used violent
harite against the Sadogatake duo of Kotomitsuki and Kotonowaka before
beating them by Oshidashi. His total purse of the last three days was
5,500,000 yen (approx.$47,000)
"Keiko? I'm doing light keiko for fear of getting hurt." He is being
extra careful since the light injury he received towards the end of last
basho.
The Aki Jungyo will go on for 17 days and will be held at 13 different
venues.
