Gokishin Drops His Jonokuchi Opener After Two Straight Make-Koshi
West Jonokuchi 1 Gokishin (Shikihide) lost by hatakikomi to East Jonokuchi Hirose (Arashio) on Day 1. 'I drove him to the edge and thought I had it, but that feeling was the problem. I want to give everything through the end,' he told Sports Hochi.
Two straight make-koshi dropped him to jonokuchi. He said his feet barely moved last basho and he wants to wrestle his own sumo while moving better, adding, 'I want to finish the year with a kachi-koshi.' He also said he hopes to support yokozuna Hoshoryu, whom he serves as a tsukebito and who is returning from a full Aki absence.
