|> 	For the overall tournament award, Musashimaru came out
|> victorious over Akebono.  Other Prizes went as follows:
|> Merit(?):  Mitoizumi
|> 	Mitoizumi was well deserving of this award.  In the first
|> 	day he made it all the way to the final match despite a
|> 	nagging knee injury which aparently caused him to lose
|> 	his first match on the second day.
|> Technique:  Mainoumi
|> 	This man was flying all over the ring!  I haven't followed
|> 	the past few tournaments to I was never fully aware of this
|> 	Rikishi until now.  He often played reactionary, though not
|> 	afraid to taunt his opponent.  One notable match was against
|> 	Konishiki, neither charged in and the two didn't "slap
|> 	bellies" until well into the match.  When they did meet, he
|> 	managed to hold off Konishiki for a while before he finally
|> 	lost.  This match was definitely speed vs. force!  (I over-
|> 	heard the person behind me comment "I want to see that match
|> 	again... Konishiki versus, that mouse..." =^)
|> Fighting Spirit:  Wakahanda (? might be wrong with this one ?)

|> 	more if I can revive my short term memory...
