Osaka, Osaka Municipal Gymnasium
Kaiki is the only competitor today to lose his first contest, defeat coming at the hand of Kitanoumi who is one of eight men still unbeaten one-third of the way through the Haru. There was a surprising amount of time before Chiyonofuji finally put away his opponent of the day, Wakashimazu who was just not able to pull off the upset but he was close.
There is also some more retirement news to report. Masuiyama has decided to put a stop to his career, a short time after becoming one half of the first Father-Son ozeki (the second highest attainable rank). He plans on moving into coaching. And finally some more injuries. Tamakiyama and Arase both fell down awkwardly and were grimacing as the post-match rituals were conducted. They are both able to return to competition.
