Reports from morning action in Tokyo (courtesy of SumoSoul) show Wakaichiro winning his 4th match to start Hatsu with a 4-0 record. This locks in his kachi-koshi (majority wins) for the basho. Should we win additional bouts, it will help increase the level of promotion for March. After a set of disappointing tournaments,, and rumors of problems in his legs and shoulder, it’s welcome to see Wakaichiro fighting well.
Go Texas Sumo!
Fantastic result!
Awesome job by Wakaichiro! I’m glad to see he’s got his KK, especially after seeing him noticeably limping after his win on Day 1. 6-1 or higher should put him back in Sandanme.
