No way! He will not drop until he fights Kirishima and possibly Kotonowaka. The future of sumo needs BOTH those matches to happen. Otherwise. Kirishima gets a promotion without beating a yokozuna. And then kotonowaka gets ozeki without beating a yokozuna during his promotion run. Sumo association can not afford those asterisk. If Teru threatens to pull out watch those matches happen first.The Yokozuna still has it, but for how much longer? He's moving better than he was on day 3, but I feel a withdrawal coming any day now.
You beat me to it, "Takayasu will be back for Day 6. He will face Ura, tomorrow. At 1-2-2, he can certainly still turn in a decent scorecard." From TachiaiLooks like Takayasu will be back tomorrow.
He looks the healthiest he has been in probably the last 3 to 4 basho. Is he going to play spoiler to any promotions?ASANOYAMA had an exciting match didn't he???
Very well could be and if he does, I won't be too upsetHe looks the healthiest he has been in probably the last 3 to 4 basho. Is he going to play spoiler to any promotions?
The injuries are just killing me... Very sad, but that's the nature of the beast.This basho has been an absolute bloodbath.
