In the Saturday morning action, American sumotori Wakaichiro won his fourth match against Suzuki via frontal push out (oshidashi). This brings Wakaichiro’s record to 3-1 for the Haru basho, one win away from a majority winning record (kachi-koshi).
It was a decent bout with some good action, wiht Wakaichiro clearly in control, and he seems genuinely very happy with his win.

Yesss!
Yeah, it’s fun to see how excited he is just after the win. I am sure at some time they will admonish him to be more stoic, but the Jonokuchi guys are just starting out, so they give them some leeway.
That was a good brawl. Very impressive win.
Have you noticed, Wakaichiro always bows very low and respectfully. Nice!
Ura does that too
It’s good to see that respect. #Homasho
I really like this kid! From an American aspect: hopefully he can go super-far! The sky’s the limit for Wakaichiro.
