Day 4 video:
Futenho-Kasuganishiki. This is one of the most unusual matches I've 
seen. Unbeaten Futenho is on a roll, but Kasuganishiki's ultra-stable 
stance resists F's throw attempts. But the real story is the tachiai, 
wham! They apparently crashed their faces together, and within seconds 
there is blood everywhere. Then to everyone's surprise the gyoji stopped 
the match. Why? There seem to be two issues - K's mawashi was coming 
untied, and someone, I'm not sure who, was bleeding profusely. The gyoji 
has the yobidashi wipe away blood while he reties the mawashi. Watching 
this I have 3 questions - (1) what was the initial reason the gyoji 
stopped the fight, the mawashi or the blood? (2) Did the chief judge 
give the order or was the gyoji acting on his own volition? (3) Just 
whose blood was it, anyway? The match resumes. I count at least 9 throw 
attempts in this match, all unsuccessful. Futenho needs to find how to 
apply more leverage when he throws.
