[sumo] Day 14 videos [spoiler]

[Barbara]

I put two day 14 videos on the site:

Ama-Toyonoshima. Ama comes out blazing with tsupparis, then does a rare 
ankle pick, kozumatori, to tumble Toyonoshima to the ground for a third 
loss. The commentators were bowled over by the rare kimarite, but watch 
the slow motion. The two sumotori trade blows over and over and then one 
of Ama's tsupparis, WHAM, connects with T's head and sends him 
staggering. Toyonoshima is disoriented after the wallop and easy prey 
for a fancy move. This match wasn't won with exotic techniques, it was 
won at the moment that one hit connected. Ama could have as easily done 
an okuridashi. 	

Asashoryuu-Tochiazuma. Injured Tochiazuma gives a respectable effort 
here, but Asashoryuu plays a patient game of inches, improving his grip 
until he can begin an inexorable march to the edge. This win guarantees 
Asashoryuu's yuusho, his 20th, so he lets himself display a smile and a 
bit of a swagger. The video includes Asashoryuu's interview.

Day 15 videos will appear tomorrow.  I'm a little behind.
