Wakanohana     4-0   Mainoumi        2-2  abisetaoshi


Tomoefuji, who fell from grace at the Komusubi level, seems to be
back in good health, and is 4-0 at Juryo 3.  Daishi, as the lone
shin-nyuu-maku, is up to snuff so far at 4-0, too, and maybe he
wants to show the older guys how it's done.  Konishiki had a
very strong win over Kotonowaka (though it looked like a normal
yorikiri to me).  No  upsets today.  Mainoumi's bout looked a
lot like doutai to me, but there was no mono-ii and the video
later showed Wakanohana's victory.  It was still pretty close.


Today's yen rate:  $1.00 = Y98.30  Enjoy scenic Tokyo today!  :-)
