[sumo] [spoiler] News of course

[Moti]

KaioU will be taking part in his 20th Osaka basho. Today, he went for 
degeiko at Sadogatake where he met up with Asa , Taikai, Osh and both 
Sekiwakes and had 14 bouts. He showed his Fukuoka counterpart 
Kotoshougiku the difference between them beating him in 3 bouts. He 
yorikiried Osh powerfully in seconds. "It's only keiko. I'm just 
beginning.. ", he said. Last year in Osaka he was 5-7 and the intai 
rumors were rampant, but he managed to save himself. A year later, his 
lumbago notwithstanding, he's still on the dohyo. "I don't feel that I 
should give up just because of my chronic ailment. The question is how 
much keiko I can do. I feel I still have a lot of gambarizing left to 
do!!", he added.

Asashouryuu returned to Sadogatake today, and boy was it crowded.. 
Chiyotaikai, KaioU, Kotooushuu, both sekiwake - 16 bouts in all. "The 
Ozekis gathered, it was good keiko!", he said. In the middle of the 
session it looked as if he got a '"stiff neck" and was yorikiried three 
straight times by Osh. "Hey, it's a keiko-ba - we're there to make each 
other better. Nothing to do with win-loss records", he explained.

Maegashira 4 Futenou is tres genki (healthy). He had a vigorous session 
today at home with Hakuhou, Kokkai and others. He was seen doing strong 
forward- moving sumo. After yorikiriing Asashouryuu yesterday, he 
continued the momentum today. "The fatigue is starting to pile up, but 
I'm in good shape. If I can enter shonichi like this..", he said, 
smiling. The former Komusubi 26 year old beat three Ozeki two bashos ago 
and has become a strong joi-jin fixture. "I'd like to beat the big guys 
again...", he said.
