Sumo NewsHakuho flexes muscles at Soken keiko session
Dec.
27th - The Sumo Association held its general keiko session yesterday
under the watchful eyes of the Yokozuna Deliberation Council and other
Association officials at the main practice room of the Ryogoku Kokugikan.
The session was highlighted by Yokozuna Hakuho calling upon Ozeki
Kisenosato for seven straight bouts dominated by the Yokozuna, who led
with the right arm to the inside. At recent soken sessions, Hakuho has
largely focused on hiramaku rikishi turning in uninspiring performances,
so when asked today why he singled out Kisenosato he said, "I felt since
he is up for promotion that he needed to practice in front of the
council." Regarding his own performance he stated, "We still have more
than two weeks until day 1, so I hope to remember my fast start in
Kyushu and repeat it." |
