[sumo] [spoiler] Toyonoshima, Chiyotaikai

[Jezz]

Although I understand his sentiments, I'm a little disappointed with
Chiyotaikai's comments.  Rather than breaking the record for Ozeki
longevity, he should be more focussed on becoming a Yokozuna.  To say
he has been thinking about the record for the past year is surely not
a good thing to admit to.

Therefore I am hoping he will be striving for back-to-back yushos, and
not merely settling for extending his Ozeki career.....

Am I wrong?
