Sekiwake Daieishou was at the Tokitsukaze Ichimon rengo keiko as well today
and had  11 bouts against sekitori and three against Houshouryuu, going 5-9
in total. When he did his own thrusting  he was able to push his opponents
out in one go with well-placed thrusts,  "There were good and bad points,
but I think it was a great session. If I can carry out my own sumo, I feel
like my power is there. The level was high with the sanyaku opponents but I
was able to show my strength," he reflected. After winning 11 matches in
January, he wanted to solidify his foothold for an Ozeki promotion the last
basho, but with a 9-6 record he fell short of his goal of double-digit
wins. He mentioned his loss on the final day of the previous basho as
something to reflect upon, saying, "The final day was disappointing. I
think that's the difference between those who can rise (to Ozeki) and those
who can't." Since the banzuke was announced on the 28th of last month, he
has been going out to train vigorously, visiting Araiso , Shkoroyama,
Sadogatake, Sakaigawa and other heyas. He has trained with a variety of
different types of rikishi. When asked by reporters about the large number
of sekitori gathering at the heyas he visits, he smiled and said, "It's
just by chance..."
