Well, today, it was the old Wakanosato, LIFTING and placing Shunketsu out of
the dohyo. Go, Waganosato (as they say in Aomori).

I've seen Wakanosato showing good spirited efforts in
a few bouts this basho but the others he just looked
awful. I believe he is having problems with his knee
and when he gets pushed forcefully, he just cannot
withstand the stress and easily backs down and loses.
