Asahakuryuu got called in to the judging department for that dame-oshi
(extra push after he had already won which is frowned upon by the elders)
against Mita. His momentum was so great that he ended up sending Mita
flying outside the dohyo. Because this appeared to be a dame oshi, he was
called in by the judging department after the match. However, it was clear
that he had no ill intentions, as he offered his hand to his fallen
opponent. The department merely offered encouragement, saying, "Keep up the
good work." By the end of the day, Asakouryuu, was tied for the Juryo
lead. Following his yusho in Makushita last tournament, a second
consecutive yusho at each rank seems a real possibility. Even so, he spoke
calmly, saying, "I'm glad I won. I'll just do my best again tomorrow
without worrying about the yusho race," he summed.
