He adjusted his training with basic exercises such as shiko , suriashi, and teppo . He also did training using an 11-kilogram bat, wiping away sweat with satisfaction, saying, "It was a good workout. I was training during the jungyo as well." The day before, on the 1st, he met with Chairman Hakkaku at an association event, who encouraged him, saying, "You had a lot of forward-moving sumo in the last basho. Opportunities like this don't come around often." He has shown remarkable consistency with 12 wins in three consecutive tournaments. Going for his third tsunatori basho, he intends to go for degeiko from the 3rd, and showed his fighting spirit, saying, "I have to keep training and raise my spirits. Training doesn't lie."</span><div><span style="color:rgb(53,60,65);font-family:Inter,-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol""><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(53,60,65);font-family:Inter,-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol"">Kirishima with the bat:</span></div><div><img src="https://news-pctr.c.yimg.jp/uUzvQ3lML_bkIqyakc1vFhNrRI0RUQxg5aFkrX0xDg1_T0wXrbEJjtNGtrf1o9y30FuE9u6zLBRO4B_aRTKNgF4axa0TtVzpoQ7VDPenaT3MdWZdn0vBXFQz-C4X2YorDYip53olad9xPWzJrsDrecL1Fom2Z-VgZELVDEv0tGlMgSFzw1rGtO97yJgFwOhPdauQjEBuUstpn5T4ztEKnA==" alt="稽古で汗を流す霧島（撮影・中村 和也）" style="border-width:0px;border-style:solid;border-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.54);box-sizing:border-box;display:block;vertical-align:bottom;max-width:672px;max-height:504px;margin:0px auto;opacity:0.8;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"\0030d2\0030e9\0030ae\0030ce\0089d2\0030b4 Pro W3","Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro",メイリオ,Meiryo,Osaka,"\00ff2d\00ff33 \00ff30\0030b4\0030b7\0030c3\0030af","MS PGothic",sans-serif;font-size:16px;text-align:center;background-color:rgb(74,74,74)"></div><div><br></div><div> Batman without Kirishima:</div><div><a href="https://www.google.com/imgres?q=Batman%20photo&imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn11.bigcommerce.com%2Fs-ydriczk%2Fimages%2Fstencil%2F1280w%2Fproducts%2F89093%2F93728%2FDC-Comics-Batman-Caped-Crusader-official-cardboard-cutout-buy-now-at-starstills__04189.1582849820.jpg%3Fc%3D2&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.starstills.com%2Fbatman-caped-crusader-official-dc-comics-lifesize-cardboard-cutout%2F&docid=hL-h2AoRCTMnRM&tbnid=0AGZcJw6h_VTvM&vet=12ahUKEwjz753P7NCWAxUER_EDHUmJEV8QnPAOegUIzQEQAA..i&w=1000&h=1500&hcb=2&ved=2ahUKEwjz753P7NCWAxUER_EDHUmJEV8QnPAOegUIzQEQAA" style="color:rgb(26,13,171);text-decoration:underline;outline:0px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:medium" target="_blank"><div style="height:390.594px"><div role="button" style="height:390.594px;border-radius:16px;margin:auto;overflow:hidden;width:247.672px;outline:0px"><div style="overflow:hidden;height:390.594px;object-fit:cover;border-radius:12px"><img alt="Batman Caped Crusader Official DC Comics Lifesize Cardboard Cutout" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR4g8_hIaP5M0MjcWHtdKUCPyh0lEBNhEV4EmOUreTXWA&s=10" style="height:390.594px;width:247.672px;display:block;object-fit:cover"></div></div></div></a></div>
