Sumo Basho 4th Day results (fwd)

[Peter Kaub <p-kaub@possum.murdoch.edu.au>]

Dear Sumo fans, thanks again to Tony here is the results of day 4.  To
save me acting as the rebound for this information and to open up the
mailing list to other comments and commentary, you can simply post to all
other members of this mailing list by using the "reply (to group)"
function on your e-mail system.  This is eagerly sought by some of the
people who have contacted me who do not wish to wade through the other
information on the soc.culture.japan newsgroup and who want to open up
this mailing list to a bit more discussion.  See attached the first of
such discussions by Martin Hughes, and myself at the end of today's results. 
Don't worry for those viewing by the s.c.j newsgroup Tony will keep posting
results to there and I will keep posting messages there to catch the
attention of anyone who is interested in joining our mailing list.

Well folks, another exciting day. I post this news after the Sumo Digest        

which ends 12:00 A.M. California time so please bare with the typos.    

                                                                        

After going over all the records I see there were more than 3 who had a 

perfect record. Those people are. Akebono, Wakanohana, Akinoshima and   

Tochinowaka.                                                            

                                                                     

Konishiki lost tonight. His driving forward technique was thwarted by

Takatoriki stepping away and to the side. This sent Kevin off balance

and when he regained his balance he was thwarted again by the same techinque.

Eventually he was pushed out of the ring with li+u$~ttle effort. He was      

visibly bummed.                                                              

                                                                       

Wakanohana looked hot. He twisted his opponent down to the floor by 

pulling one side of his opponents belt when he, the opponent, lunged at him.

He must be sparing with Takanohana.                                         

                                                                            

A near diaster happened when Mainoumi was twisted out of the ring with his

arm interlocked with his opponent. To avoid breaking Mainoumi's arm,            

Takanonami had to almost fall out of the ring to save his arm. What a     

sportsman!                                                            

                                                                      

Will Akebono and Wakanohana dominate? Or will Akinoshima and Tochinowaka

hang in there? 10 more days will tell. And I'll be there.
