Takatoriki     3-3  Asanowaka      1-5  hikiotoshi
Musoyama       3-3  Takanohana     4-2  yoritaoshi
Wakanohana     6-0  Kotonishiki    2-4  okuridashi
Hamanoshima    3-3  Takanonami     4-2  yorikiri
Musashimaru    6-0  Tomonohana     2-4  tsukidashi
 
 
Takanohana takes a dive again, putting a serious cramp
in his latest drive for Yokozuna.  Musashimaru and 
Wakanohana both look like they're in the groove, so it
could spell doom for Taka once more, as he's in third
place already.
 
More apologies for the torikumi yesterday.  I seem to
have some mental block that makes me want to type 
Takamisugi when I see Misugisato's name on the monitor.
 
Mainoumi must be the surprise this basho, as he's 4-2
after fighting only against san-yaku rikishi.  If he
can fend off the other Maegashira, he'll be up to the
san-yaku level himself!
