Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugokan
After all his good work against Makuuchi opponents Iwanami lost to underdog Fukuzono who snaps a three day losing streak. This victory was enough to boost the stock of Fukuzono moving forward in the tournament as more is expected of him. Nishinofuji almost backed up his first win of the Aki with a second as he forced Saisu to give his all in a great match, and Oko just edged out Wakajishi to win three in a row after starting the basho 0-3.
There was another departure as Arase Nagahide, losing today against Daihi, has decided to call it a day on a nine year career. In this year of replays he was runner-up in the Nagoya in a year that was short of wins.
