Takanonami henka

Hi All,

Just been reading the Day 15 from Hatsu Basho on Ken Coller's page...

What's this with Takanonami trying henka against Akebono in the last
match?  Doesn't seem very "sporting" to me when it's someone expecting
to get into possible Yokozuna promotion.  His defeat was described as
pretty ignominous, basically giving up after Akebono stabilised his
grip.  Takanonami had better pick it up if he wants to step up.

cu,
Bruce

the heat up slowly, you can roast it to death."  -- Clive Thompson
