[sumo] [spoiler] Toyonoshima, Chiyotaikai

[Moti]

Toyonoshima is changing the color of his mawashi from black to blue. 
"Reminds me of my ocean-front home town-the color of the sea, see?" he 
said. Yesterday he had 20 bouts and managed to injure his right 
shoulder. "I'll try to make it better by tomorrow".
Other article said it's his neck and he injured it at tachi-ai against 
Houmashou in training, which sounds a tad more serious. "I felt 
electricity rushing through", he said, another one of those sumo cliche 
utterances. At least he didn't say he had "good keiko"..


Ozeki Chiyotaikai needs a KK this basho to break one of the longstanding 
records - number of bashos as Ozeki, held by the deceased ex-Takanohana 
I. Right now, he has 49. A KK will assure him at least 2 more, so the 
record of 50 will be surpassed. "I did pretty well, I think.. I've been 
conscious of this for the past year. Any way you look at it, this is an 
important record", he said. He has the hives, so he's at the home beya. 
"I'm in good shape. Tomorrow I'd like to go to Sadogatake", he said.
