It's been 8 months now, so how is that going? "Not at all.." he muttered, adding that he is upping the numbers of basic foundation moves in training.

To: Sumo Newsletter2 Tsurugishou -now that's a name we never had in these parts - is coming off an excellent basho and should be ranked pretty high for Nagoya - trained at home against Daieishou and others yesterday - eight bouts. He had six straight wins from day 7 at Maegashira 15 last basho, finally ending with a 9-6 record. On the last three days, he faced Sekiwakes Wakamotoharu, Houshouryuu and ex-Ozeki Asanoyama, losing to all three, missing out on his second ever double digit win basho. "I lost to my opponents on the last three days, but they are not rivals I can't beat. If I execute my sumo well and gambarize, I feel I can beat them. My goal is to be able to face the Sekiwakes again next basho.." he said. If he does well next basho, he is bound to face them in the second half. He'll need to be careful with his lower back and left knee old injuries while attempting to achieve his goal, adds the reporter. *Does anybody remember Tsurugishou saying some weird stuff a few years back? I seem to remember him saying he has some cunning new tactics up his sleeve and warned his opponents to look out, and then proceeded to lose a lot. Did that happen? Or was it Baldrick? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sumo Newsletter2" group.

He will be going into business ("Royal Georgia"), importing Georgian goods (wine, honey). "There is a lot of Georgian foodstuffs and drinks that are really healthy. I want to make them famous in Japan, CEO? Nah, I'm a rank and filer..I will be living in Japan, and will visit Georgia here and there," he said, laughing., He is still going a lot to Kasugano beya. "Yeah' when I'm not busy I go there five times a week to train with the lads. I went with them to their training camp lodgings in Saitama and will be joining them in Nagoya as well.. Retired or not, I'm living the same life," he said, laughing again. He has already lost 30 kilos and his hair is greying. "Yes, I have quite a lot of grey hair on my sideburns and especially on my beard. I used to shave once a week, and every five days during a basho, but I shave every 3-4 days now. If I don't, my beard looks totally white," he added. His advice o the three Ozeki contenders? "The first days are important - get 2-3 wins and you're in the right direction. Even if you decide not to think about it, you always do when the Ozeki promotion is on the line. It's a battle against yourself, so you need to beat yourself. Wakamotoharu and Daieishou have their style, but anything can happen with Houshouryuu. Many fans like rikishi with their own style, but I'd say 70-80 percent of the fans love the guys who keep you guessing what they will come up with... His uncle Asashouryuu was one of those guys. I hope he makes it to Yokozuna soon,", summed the retired Georgian." He has really lost weight..

"Compared to the beginning of June, I'm in much better shape," he said. He will be aiming for his first kachikoshi in three bashos this time around. He just had his first Makuuchi kachikoshi in January and even reached Maegashira 10, but these last two bashos he was makekoshi. "I injured my knee and my shoulder and have pains all over the place and couldn't train well," he added. Last basho he was 2-13 at Juryo 2 and that will surely drop him close to Makushita. "I did well to get those two wins," he comforted himself. Still, he's been doing close to 20 training bouts a day, a lot even compared to how many he used to do when he was younger. Lately, his counterparts Kakuryuu, Kagamiou and Kyokushuuhou all retired, but he intends to soldier on. "I want to go on for as long as I can," he summed. look out. it's Godzilla!"

Occasionally there was more on display than might have been considered proper, but I simply looked away and there was never any embarrassment on either side. (I did grow up on the Sydney beaches.) I can understand how some rikishi might feel inhibited, but if the female journalists are sumo ?specialists? they would be there for professional rather than voyeuristic reasons.

"I've never won a yusho in Nagoya. I did win a July basho once but it was held in Tokyo because of COVID. I think it's time to do it this time around. When I'm in, I'm in for the yusho, as is always the case. With me, what you see is what you get. I'll be taking care of my body and I hope to go the distance in the very hot Nagoya and electrify the basho," he said, Daieishou is seriously aiming for Ozeki. After two back to back double digit wins he's getting close. "It used to be a dream, but now it's within reach.. I really want to be promoted from the bottom of my heart and I think that if I can really give it my all I can do it. Thinking about it? I don't think it's possible without thinking about it.. I'm going to be 30 years old this year. I won't be doing sumo much longer so I need to be strong mentally and bri?ng myself to be able to use 100% of my power. Before this, I used to lose a lot at the edge of the dohyo. I felt in my heart that if I saved my power I couldn't win but now I am able to make the necessary adjustments," he said. He needs 11 wins to make the "required" 33 wins over three straight bashos. "I want to win 11, but making that the target is wrong. I want to go with the feeling that I can win them all. All my joi opponents will be taken seriously! " he summed. Ozeki contender number two Wakamotoharu answered the press as well today. He needs 12 wins for the magic number 33. "Yes, I'm aware of it. I was languishing in Makushita just a few years ago. It's like a dream for me just being Sekiwake.. I'm trying not to think of promotion, and I'm trying to keep that state of mind. I used to watch KaioU and Chiyotaikai when I was a kid. I feel that compared to them I have a long way to go.. Going up a rank in itself means nothing. I need to steadily improve my skills to feel worthy of the rank. Yusho? Objectively, it seems so far away, and if I think about it, it's impossible.. When my brother (Wakatakakage) won the yusho it was like a dream and when Abi did it we drank some good sake. But me? Doesn't seem real.. At this level, the effort is tremendous. Every single basho, it feels like I'm running as fast as I can to keep up," he said. Ozeki contender number three Houshouryuu also answered the press today. He needs 12 wins for the 33. "I'm not thinking of it too much. I want to go about it as usual. Before I entered sumo, I thought the Ozeki rank was awesome. I was wondering if I could go that far. I really want to latch on this.. All I can do is what I have been doing until now.," he said. At the beginning of June he visited Mongolia for the first time in four and a half years and returned relaxed. "I was able to relax and gaze at the stars, something I don't do in Tokyo. I was able to rest and become calm. I met my uncle there and we had long talks, but the contents are secret," he said, laughing. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sumo Newsletter2" group.

Abi was there. He faced Houshouryuu, Wakamotoharu and others for 10 bouts. He is back in sanyaku. "I've been winning some bouts by accident. I need to do stronger sumo. I am inspired by Wakamotoharu's progression (they are good friends). If he gets promoted I will really be happy," he said. And Wakamotoharu? Bad day at the keiko-ba. His sharp tachiai was nowhere to be seen, as he went 5-13. It was raining heavily in the morning and he was suffering from back pains. "This kind of weather brings about the pain.. I tried to endure it, but I didn't do so well.. I can only gambarize. There is still time so I will be making the necessary adjustments," he said quietly. Houshouryuu was 16-7 at said keiko session. "I think it was a good session.." he said. He beat Wakamotoharu 7-3 and also did well against Abi and Meisei and needs 12 wins for an Ozeki promotion. "I'm able to do better and better with every passing day," he summed. Meisei was there as well. 11-8, winning six straight at some point. He faced Houshouryuu, Wakamotoharu, Abi and others. "I think I was moving well. I'm glad to have been able to train against those ranked above me. I am aiming for a *proper* kachikoshi," he said. Reminder-he beat Terunofuji on day 9 last basho, and then proceeded to lose six straight bouts. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sumo Newsletter2" group.

I missed the report that he had changed his Shikona. Noticed a common mistake in the article, the year 2000 is the last year of the 20th century, not the first year of the 21st century.
