Nishikigi, 36, Falls to 19-Year-Old Fujitensei: 'I'm Tired. I Ran Out of Strength'
East Makushita 2 Nishikigi, 36 (Isenoumi), back in makushita for the first time in 11 years, lost to East Makushita 4 Fujitensei, 19 (Fujishima), by okuridashi on Day 5 and is 1-2. He got his right arm in and pressed Fujitensei to the edge but couldn't push him out, and Fujitensei got around behind him. 'I'm tired,' were again his first words. 'I moved, but I ran out of strength,' he said, regretting that he couldn't get the grip he wanted. After 11 and a half years as a sekitori he went 6-9 at West Juryo 14 in September; this is his first makushita basho in 69, since March 2015. 'I'll do my best' (Nikkan Sports).
