Bugger.  Am I the only one who now, already on day 2, thinks this basho is
going to Asashoryu.  I mean, Hakuho, Tochiazuma and to a lesser extent
Kotooshu were probably the main threats and are already compromised.  Is
Baruto ready to put up a threat over the whole competition ?  I hope so but
I'm not sure.  Asa marches on while everyone falls around him.
