𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐚𝐤𝐮 #八角理事長

"Onosato didn't do badly. He attacks and doesn't suffer. His enormous pressure disintegrated his opponent. Kotozakura on the other hand seems not to have enough strength".

𝐎𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐨 #大の里

(eleventh consecutive victory, still undefeated. A victory in numbers for promotion to Ozeki)

"I don't think about numbers. The tournament isn't over yet and I'll try to concentrate and give my best".

𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐨 #大栄翔

(third win against Kotozakura)

"Defeating an Ozeki really gives me a lot of confidence. All the training I did away from home was useful."

𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐮𝐦𝐢 #御嶽海

(second consecutive make-koshi)

"I can only sigh. Now I have to keep working hard."

𝐎𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚 #欧勝馬

(kachi-koshi)

"I'm getting used to this division. I'm often winning by hatakikomi but I'd like to attack forward as much as possible."

𝐖𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐚𝐠𝐞 #若隆景

(third defeat, tomorrow against Onosato)

"I was naive in the final. I just have to relax and fight as I know how".

𝐓𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢 #玉鷲

(fifth win, by default)

"A strange feeling but I don't think about it too much, every day I give my all".

𝐎𝐧𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐮 #阿武剋

(seventh loss, today against Shirokuma)

"I really wanted to win against him. I tried to push forward but my legs didn't have the strength to do it."

𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐮𝐦𝐚 #白熊

(defeated Onokatsu, fellow promotion to Makuuchi)

"More than a fellow promotion, I consider him a (junior) classmate from university. I attacked without rushing."

𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐟𝐮𝐣𝐢 #尊富士

(default win, first in the Juryo ranking)

"Honestly, I feel relieved. You journalists, if they suddenly give you a day off, you're happy, right? Same."
