Daieishou, Meisei

[Moti Dichne]

Busy news day, sumo fans..

And Daieishou. He cracked a rib on day 13 of Nagoya and has not done sumo since then. He did join the jungyo on its final leg but did not do any sumo. He started two days ago at home, and yesterday he faced Juryo Daiamami  and lower rankers for 13 bouts as the rust was evident. A lot of pulling. "I intend to start anew and will train towards that goal. It's been a while so there is that fear.. I'm not moving well yet and there is not much time left  so I'll brace myself and go for it," he said,  "I'm wondering which sekitori I can train with from other heyas.  Only there can I see what my condition really is, " he summed.

Meisei is taking part in a movie that hits the theaters today- "Hello, Mother". He plays the part of a rikishi who goes to a shop to buy  tabi. "I am a rikishi, so I'd rather be famous for my sumo," he said, bashfully. "It's a good movie so I'd like everyone to see it," he added, hopefully. He watched it at the heya at an early screening, but hasn't seen it yet on the big screen. "If possible, I'd like to go.." he said, wishfully.
