The jungyo arrived in Niigata City today and Sekiwake Wakatakakage who is
aiming for Ozeki, was unable to take part in the dohyo-iri and did not face
Ozeki Kotozakura as scheduled. According to sources, Wakatakakage appears
to have injured his ankle outside of training, and although he expressed
his desire to participate, he was urged to take it easy. On the previous
day, during the tour in his hometown of Fukushima, he refrained from keiko
but during a training session with his children, he showed his strength to
his 5-year-old eldest son, responding to the voices of anticipation that
the prefecture's first Ozeki in 144 years will be born. With less than a
month to go until the crucial first day of the Aki basho, Wakatakakage is
expected to be preparing carefully from now on.
