The Haru Jungyo arrived at Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture today.  During
the morning keiko, re-fresh Ozeki Kirishima thrilled the crowd with a
serious keiko session against Juryo Wakanoshou. Towards the end of the
general session, Kirishima stepped onto the dohyo and overwhelmed
Wakanoshou with a variety of attacks, including thrusts, pushes, yorikiri
from a left-hand grip, and sharp footwork. He had only resumed sumo
practice the day before and said, "I'm sore. My body hurts," but he also
showed a sense of fulfillment, saying, "Practicing with someone who comes
at you with full force is good practice." Meanwhile, 22-year-old
Wakanoshou, who is a strong contender for promotion to Makuuchi in Natsu,
challenged Kirishima with all his might, saying, "It would be rude to hold
back." He expressed his gratitude, saying, "He's really strong. I felt very
grateful."
