Bouts ended here.

Sekitori butsukari followed and took around 8 minutes only. Then shiko,
suriashi, sideways movements, squats, lunges and push-ups.

All in all Goeido is very genki. He was 3-3 against Iwakiyama but one
loss was a rather odd hatakikomi and once he got hit in the face at the
tachi-ai, was mystified by that and lost. He dominated both
Toyohibiki and Hochiyama and was able to take all Toyohibiki had to
offer without much trouble and in his case it is sometimes really how it is
as he takes hibiki's charge even without getting inside at once.

Hochiyama was mediocre. Looks healthy though but isn't a match for
either Iwakiyama nor Goeido.

Iwakiyama looked genki too although he did favor his knee in off-bout
exercises and put some ice on it too. He didn't look handicapped during the
bouts though and was very strong against Toyohibiki and Hochiyama
and although he wasn't as strong as Goeido, he beat him once with power sumo.

Toyohibiki trains hard and hits hard but he is not a keiko rikishi
result-wise. Even Hochiyama is able to take his charges mostly and he
was quite clearly beaten by Goiedo and Iwakiyama. His record was as
bad as 4-20 and 1-16 against Goeido and Iwakiyama.
