A couple of nice surprises as Terao and Kotonishiki keep up their
hot paces.  Terao is looking to get back into san-yaku for the
first time in quite a while.  He has been at Sekiwake in the past.
Kotonishiki has usually faltered by this point in prior bashos,
but has looked really strong so far.  

Let's start a rumor:  Tonya Harding is to enter sumo at the
Makushita level.  Says the Kyokai member (wishing anonymity):
Normally she would start lower due to lack of sumo training,
but seeing as how Ms. Harding's ferocity is well-known, we
will try her out at a higher ranking.
