"All I can do is give it my all as usual. If I win the yusho, the future will be clearer, again," he waxed philosophically. He was seen wearing a sock in his left foot. "I sprained it a bit," he admitted. He had no taping on when he did sumo and there was no obvious problem with his movements. His Oyakata/dad explained that because of the extreme heat, Kotozakura was doing a lot fewer bouts to prevent heatstroke. "It's important he wins despite the heat.. He's got to get through 15 days of battles, you know.." summed Sadogatake Oyakata.</span><br><div><span style="color:rgb(53,60,65);font-family:Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(53,60,65);font-family:Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Ozeki </span><span style="color:rgb(53,60,65);font-family:Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Houshouryuu went for degeiko at Sakaigawa beya yesterday. 18 bouts against the likes of Hiradoumi and Kirishima, winning 12. "It was good keiko.. I intend to continue this way. I really want to yusho.. I shall be careful not to get injured.." he said. He tsuriotoshied Hiradoumi twice. "That felt good.." he added. </span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(53,60,65);font-family:Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(53,60,65);font-family:Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Sekiwake Kirishima needs 10 wins to return to Ozeki and is doing vigorous training at various stables. Yesterday he faced Hiradoumi, Houshouryuu and others at Sakaigawa beya. "I feel I'm back to my good condition.. If I'm able to do this level of training, I see no problem," he said. The neck injury that was troubling him seems to have mostly healed. He trained for two days at Arashio beya, then went to Tatsunami beya as well. "Surely if I don't hit I won't be able to do any sumo..I need that to be able to move forward.." he added. "He is better today than he was yesterday. If he can hit more properly.. " said Otowayama Oyakata (ex- Kakuryuu). "My kids said - 'Papa, win the yusho!!'," said an excited Kirishima.</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(53,60,65);font-family:Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><br></span></div>
