Subject: Day 8 highlights!

             Hi All!

    Since tha last tournament I usually enjoy the streaming on the
weekend. So it was today and I want to give some comments to the main
bouts of the day.

    Well, lets start from the back:

Asashoryu - Tokitsuumi:
After a big amount of kensho banners cerceling around everyone thought
that will be good bout. But after the tachi-ai Tokitsuumi was slipping
away with one foot, more or less without help from Asashoryu.

Kaio - Miyabiyama:
The babyfaced wooblemonster faced the concentrade Ozeki. The tachi-ai
was hard, but Kaio managed to keep the drive forward pushing his
opponent to the edge of the ring. Fearing a dive into the people sitting
beside the doyo the doyodiver offers his body to Kaio, who dumps him
easily down on the clay.

Chiyotaikai - Kotomitski:
 From the start away Mikey storms forward like an angry bull. But Chio
manages to keep him away. Then he uses another charge of the bad
balanced Mikey to make him bite the dust.

Wakanosato - Hakutoriki:
This bout was the main bout of the day, because the leader was fighting.
As last tournament beating Asasekiryu Wakanosato has another time the
responsibility to manheandle the surprise of the tournament. He gets a
grip on the mawashi of Hakutoriki and wins convincingly.

So the Yusho-race is open again for all the chaps heaving one or two
losses. Lets see, how the second week will be.

       Best wishe from the sunday-streamer, Konizan
