Makushita 14W ex-Ozeki Asanoyama was at the YDC soken training session as
well. He had three bouts against other Makushitans and was 2-1. He too can
make it back to Juryo in July if he gets that 7-0 yusho. "I was happy. It
has been a while since I last mounted the Kokugikan dohyo, and while I was
warming up before the match and moving my body outside of the dohyo, I
noticed that the Kokugikan was really big. Rather than feeling like I was
back, I felt happy that I could compete here again." Last basho was held in
Osaka, where he returned after a 4 basho absence, so it's been a while
since he mounted the  dohyo at the Kokugikan, which was in January last
year. "There is a condition to be within the top 15 (a perfect seven-match
win to be promoted to Juryo ), but if I can just do my own sumo each day
without getting injured, I think the results will come. Anyway, I'm not
going to think too much about the future, I'm going to focus on the joy of
being able to enter the basho and remember my gratitude," he said,
emphasizing that it's all about facing one bout at a time, rather than
getting too hung up on the results.
