Joe,
I really enjoyed Miyabiyama's comment about Takamisakari winning 2 bouts yesterday.
Happy Sumo

Subject: [sumo] [Spoiler] Rikishi Talk Day 11 Aki Basho 2007
Baruto (11-0) over Shimotori by sukuinage
--------------------------------------------------
(Will be securing the yusho if he can win tomorrow,
tying the quickest Juryo yusho by day 12
record, and asked about his second all win Juryo
yusho)
"All I can do is doing my best every bout every day.
About another all win yusho? I hope you can all look
forward to it on the Senshuraku."
Kyokutenho (8-3) losing to Kasugao by yorikiri, 11.5
seconds
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Losing his third)
"Let's see we have four more days left. I guess it's
too much to expect to win all four. If I can get 2
wins and 2 losses, I will finish with 10 wins and 5
losses. Very reasonable. You know when I can get
myself thinking that way, I can go out with much more
ease."
Goeido (10-1) over Takekaze by oshidashi, 3.9 seconds
----------------------------------------------------------------
(For the first time since the 1949 when the 15 day
basho was instituted, a Makunouchi debut
rikishi is on the top of the yusho race board on day
11. Even the "incident" cannot spoil his joy of
winning today.)
"I was just thinking of moving forward today. I was
able to go all out and stayed calm. Today I
was able to have a sumo I wanted exactly."
(During the bout, there were quite a bit of commotion
just outside the dohyo as a spectator tried to get up
on the dohyo and was stopped)
"For a moment I was really surprised but I didn't lose
my concentration at all. It happened at a place I
wasn't paying attention to and I could not see
anyway."
(On Ama bout tomorrow)
"I am aware of his powerful sumo but I try not to get
overly concerned. I just try to go with my
own sumo and approach it without any pressure."
Sakaigawa oyakata (former Ryogoku), Goeido's shisho
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(On Goeido)
"I am just telling him to focus solely on the day's
bout."
Takekaze (8-3) losing to Goeido
--------------------------------------
(Getting upset over a female spectator trying to get
up on the dohyo prior to his bout)
"What was that all about? You know we are trying hard
to earn a living here."
"Anyway I figured you guys were going to ask me if I
lost my concentration but actually I did not but I
lost the bout."
Takamisakari (5-6) over Tamanoshima by yorikiri, 5.8
seconds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(With Nishikido oyakata, helped to stop a female fan
from trying to climb up on the dohyo)
" I heard some loud noises. I felt I had to help out
as well. Something like this is not really good for
your heart."
(Winning his bout against Tamanoshima)
"Well at least I got in a decent sumo today."
Kitanoumi oyakata, Kyokai chairman
------------------------------------------
(On Takamisakari)
"I should commend him for his prompt action."
Nishikido oyakata (former Mitoizumi, dohyo judge)
---------------------------------------------------------
"I heard a female guard yelling, 'Please stop' and saw
what was going on. She was making some kind of
gurgling noise."
Isenoumi oyakata, Director of Security
----------------------------------------------
(Citing a previous incident of a drunken male
spectator getting up on the dohyo and was caught by
Kyokudozan at the 1991Kyushu basho)
"With the past incident in mind, a dohyo judge quickly
sensed it and everyone sprung into the
action very quickly. I understand the police would be
taking a proper action. I believe we have
responded appropriately."
(The woman was reportedly talking incoherently and had
a pile of flyers unrelated to ozumo
with her.)
Toyohibiki (6-5) over Tochiozan by hatakikomi, 3.6
seconds
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(Stopping his losing streak at three)
"I lost the tachiai but I am so happy I ended my
losing streak. I want to turn things around
from now on."
Miyabiyama (7-4) over Tamakasuga by oshi-dashi, 4.9
seconds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(On the incident)
"I was just about to watch Goeido's bout and then all
hell broke loose. Suddenly everyone was
screaming and running all over."
"What? Takamisari stopped her? Wow, he beat
Tamanoshima by yorikiri too. He got two wins
in a single day then. The man is something, isn't he?"
Ama (8-3) over Homasho by yorikiri, 38.8 seconds
----------------------------------------------------------
(Stopping powerful Homasho)
"Well just as I suspected, he was heavy. But I am
really happy. I worked really hard during the
Juyngyo tour so I wanted to show the good result from
it."
(By winning at least enable to keep his rank next
basho)
"I'd like to keep going with my own sumo, rather than
merely maintaining the rank."
(On facing Goeido tomorrow)
"I'd be looking forward to judging for myself if he is
a real deal."
Kisenosato (4-7) losing to Kakuryu by tsuki-otoshi,
0.7 second
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Done in by Kakuryu's henka)
"Ah....I got fooled. Shucks. "
Aminishiki (8-3) losing to Kotomitsuki by hatakikomi,
1.0 second
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Suffering his third loss in a row)
"I was so sure he would come out hard and
straight...Well anyway, I let it go. At least I wasn't
backing down."
Kotomitsuki (7-4) over Aminishiki
---------------------------------------
(Winning by pulling doth not bring a joy)
"I got a win. So that wasn't bad. I was going for a
Migi-yotsu but I ended up with Hidari-yotsu.
My sumo is in a total disarray. That's all I can say
today."
Asasekiryu (5-6) over Kotooshu by yorikiri, 4.8
seconds
----------------------------------------------------------------
(A convincing moro-zashi win against Kotooshu)
"Yeah I got both arms in at the end. Moro-zashi,
that's almost never heard for me, right?"
"Now if I can win tomorrow (against Chiyotaikai) then
it means I'd been prevailing over all ozeki."
Kotoshogiku (7-4) over Chiyotaikai by hataki-komi, 0.8
second
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Seeing Toyonoshima beating the yokozuna)
"The guy is just phenomenal. Whether his opponent is a
yokozuna or ozeki, he can put himself
in a moro-zashi. "
(For his day 12)
"Seeing him I am really all psyched up for tomorrow
already now."
Chiyotaikai (8-3) losing to Kotoshogiku
----------------------------------------------
(Fell right into his opponent's henka)
"I had too much faith in him. Normally he jumps out
hitting real hard. I never suspected he'd
come out pulling. I guess he must have been clinging
to his dear life to go with a trick like that.
You know he was hitting his body hard with loud bangs
before the tachiai. So what was that all about? It's
just enough to lose faith in people you know."
"I can pronounce this has been one disastrous day for
yokozuna and ozeki. "
Toyonoshima (7-4) over Hakuho by oshi-dashi, 7.1
seconds
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(Realized getting a Kinboshi when a zabuton flew by
his face)
"I thought, 'Oh my, zabuton!"
(Going with a perfect moro-zashi)
"I felt if I could go with both arms in, I'd have a
better chance. But I was just about trying everything
and anything to stay in."
(Never won against Asashoryu nor Hakuho up to now)
"This is all like a dream. I am overwhelmingly happy.
I am sure my dad is crying just about now."
(Now beating a yokozuna and two ozeki this basho and
getting a pile of kensho envelopes)
" I still can't believe it. The envelopes? I tell you
I didn't have any trouble carrying them."
Hakuho (9-2) losing to Toyonoshima
-------------------------------------------
(Giving away the first kin-boshi since promoted)
"I am wondering what really happened."
"At the dohyo edge, I was too confident that I could
stay in, feeling I could come back, no problem."
(Now trailing a Makunouchi rookie Goeido)
"This basho I was able to pretty much go all with my
sumo. The question was what I could do
if the form breaks down."
"I'd have to take each and every single bout with care
so I won't drop any more. I will be going
fully focused to do my best every single day."
Ajigawa oyakata (former yokozuna Asahifuji), Hakuho's
Ichimon's yokozuna
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(On Hakuho)
"The weight and pressure of being one yokozuna will
unknowingly transform your sumo. It was
the same with me."
