Osaka, Osaka Municipal Gymnasium
The first casualty of the basho is Wajima who, despite winning today's match against Ozutsu, has decided to call it a day and retire. His last tournament win was only four months ago and had spent ten years in the Makuuchi. His great friend Takanohana, who was injured in the Hatsu, had earlier announced his retirement.
The surprise of the day came from the Kurosegawa vs Oshio match. A nail-biting bout, the underdog Kurosegawa picked up his first win of the Haru with the ever popular yorikiri. The expected front runners of these two weeks of competition all continued on the wining path.
