Takayasu faced Hakuouhou for three bouts today. He used his strong left
hand thrusts to win by yorikiri  - two wins. He had been absent early in
the jungyo due to back pains, but returned on the 25th, and said, "I want
to do what I can without overdoing it." He continued doing sumo on the 26th
and 27th, gradually increasing his pace. He won 10 matches as komusubi in
the Nagoya tournament, and the Aki basho may solidify his push for a return
to Ozeki. "I want to get my body in shape and be in the best condition
possible," he said, enthusiastically.

 Sekiwake Wakatakakage had six matches (5-1) against  Ouhou and others in a
keiko session between sekitori. Although he suffered an ankle injury during
this tour, he showed nimble movements and commented, "I hope to stay in
good health, work up a sweat, and practice hard for the rest of the rest of
the way." As a Komusubi, he had12 wins in May and 10 wins last tournament,
marking his second consecutive tournament with double-digit wins. The
benchmark for promotion to Ozeki is "33 wins in the last three tournaments
as a sanyaku wrestler," and he will be aiming for Ozeki in Aki.
