Day 8 - Halfway through, just some highlights

Juryo
Not bad, Takakento. Good bout.
Hokuseiho vs Tochimusashi, 6-1 both. Started awkward, actually the whole thing looked a bit awkward. Very good ending, Hokuseiho brought it back from the rice bales, then instantly turned the tables over and won.
Daiamami vs Kinbozan. Daiamami got blodied? Or was that Kibozan's blood? Anyway congrats to the latter. Freshly in Juryo and pulling a good score for now.
Kagayaki vs Enho. Very nice. Enho performed as he should.
Churanoumi vs. Tohakury. Chura was at 6-1. Mono-ii. Tohakuryu won with a bit of luck. I'm glad tho, he isn't bad rikishi, and still young.
Bushozan hugging. That's rare. Chiyomaru just pulled him down.

Makuuchi.
Mitoryu vs Shimanoumi. Long bout, lots of struggle, deadlock. Good start. A bit simple finish.
Ryuden vs Hiradoumi. Ryuden clenched his opponent's arms tight. Towards the end Hiradoumi could save himself to be pushed out. But his effort was exploited and was pulled down.
Kotoshoho big fall, but not a nice win for Chiyoshoma. The point is a point.
Hahh. I thought Oho will be in trouble with Takanosho. But managed well, 6-2.
Wow, Nishikifuji basically lifted Tochinoshin out. He is a big guy tho, and Nishikigi is relatively short.
Wakamotoharu vs. Myoguryu. Torinaoshi!
