Why did Ura run?

[Moti Dichne]

If you watch my videos, you would have seen this. But why?

So why did Ura run on day eight to make it to the dohyo-iri? On the 21st, the eighth day of Aki basho, NHK's broadcast of the sumo tournament featured a scene rarely shown. The rikishi were at the back of the western hanamichi, just before Houshouryuu's Yokozuna dohyo-iri. Ura, the tsuyuharai, ran up to where Kimura Shounosuke,  Yokozuna Houshouryuu, and Tachimochi Hiradoumi were waiting. Ura was not late. As Houshouryuu greeted him with a smile, there was a reason why he had to rush over. Before the makuuchi bouts, the makuuchi rikishi enter the dohyo for their dohyo-iri, followed by the Yokozuna dohyo iri. On odd-numbered days such as the first and third days, the dohyo-iris are performed in the following order: East makuuchi, West makuuchi, East Yokozuna, West Yokozuna. On the eighth day, which is an even-numbered day, the order is West makuuchi, East makuuchi, West Yokozuna, East Yokozuna. On the eighth day, Ura's bout was scheduled in the East, so he took part in the East's makuuchi dohyo-iri and then walked down the hanamichi. Immediately afterwards, as the West's Yokozuna dohyo-iri was about to begin. He had to move quickly from the East to the West. The distance from East to West is about 50 meters. He was wearing a kesho mawashi  which made it difficult for him to move, so he ran holding up the mawashi in front of him with both hands.  Fans began to refer to this as the "Cinderella run," as it resembles Cinderella, who attended the ball and ran while lifting the hem of her dress just before midnight before the magic spell wore off. This is a actually common sight at a Yokozuna dohyo-iri, but after it was caught on NHK, it became a hot topic among fans, especially on social media. It was his usual giddiness that caused people to think he was late..
