matchups

The Natsu (May) basho starts this Sunday May 14th and will run through May
28th. Wakatakakage is out due to injury. Yokozuna Terunofuji back after 4
basho, Takakeishou back after withdrawing mid-basho last basho. Kiribayama
needs double digit wins to be promoted to Ozeki. "Then numbers and the
content will be important," said Sadogatake Oyakata, head of the judging
department. Daieishou is being considered for promotion too, as he had 10
wins at Maegashira 1 and 12 wins last basho at Komusubi. "It's more
complicated since his streak started off at Maegashira, but there is
precedent, so we''ll have to see how his basho goes and look at the
content.." added Sadogatake Oyakata. As for Terunofuji- "He seems fine but
when he retreats it seems he gets into trouble. His muscles have not
"fallen" and once he gets the mawashi he is very strong. I'd like him to
show Yokozuna-like sumo," he added. "Takakeishou looks well, no taping on
his knees. His moving forward and pushing power are there. It\'s still a
problem when he gets pushed back with that injured knee, no taping
notwithstanding," summed the Oyakata.
