I think Kaio and Terao will change places, since Terao got the Shukun-sho.

When was the last time everyone in sanyaku got kachi-koshi (disregarding, of
course, Wakanohana's no-show)?  It's been a while, I think.

Incidentally, what's the word in Japan regarding Takanohana's chances of 
Yokozuna promotion before the Nagoya-basho?  Does it look like the Kyokai's
going to do it, or make him wait another tournament?
