[sumo] {spoiler] Jungyo keiko surprise

[Moti <sumo@dichne.com>]

Today, Juryo champion Hakuhou the Mongolian got his first virtual 
kinboshi. During keiko he had five bouts against Yokozuna Asashouryuu, 
and beat him in the third bout, causing a lot of excitement on the 
grounds. He actually picked Asa up and beat him by abisetaoshi. This of 
course sent Asa into a frenzy ("he "bared his teeth" was the exact 
wording..), and he beat Hakuhou in the next two matches. "I was 
surprised (actually startled- "bikkurishita" was what he said) by my 
win. I want to acquire speed like the Yokozuna's by the time I hit 
Makuuchi", he said.
Papers are saying that Asashouryuu, who feels no one in Makuuchi at this 
point poses any danger to him, is checking out the many up- and -coming 
rikishi, to see what's where and how. (Hagiwara and Kotooushuu 
yesterday, Hakuhou today, etc..)
