Preparations for the Hatsu basho (January 9th-23rd)- Ouhou

[Moti Dichne]

Taihou's grandson Ouhou who is probably going to be in Makuuchi for the first time next basho, trained against Makushita rikishi yesterday - 30 bouts, won them all. He also faced his two brothers. I've been resting since the end of last basho so I'm not in perfect shape, but I'm about 70% ready. I was aiming for double digit wins in any case (had 11) so i probably did better than I had expected. I have been getting stronger for sure since I entered Juryo so I'm satisfied. I will do my best to avoid injuries and be be in all 15 days of the six bashos next year and for that to happen I will take care of myself and add more power. I want to show healthy sumo with good pushing and thrusting!" he said.
