Training news- Kotozakura

[Moti Dichne]

Ozeki Kotozakura trained at home today against the likes of Kotoshouhou and was 9-1. It’s going to be his first basho as an Ozeki in Kyushu. “All bashos are equally important,” he said later. Last basho he finished with an 8-7 record, ending his double digit wins streak at 5 bashos. “After becoming Ozeki, I never intended to be satisfied with eight wins. 10 wins are the bare minimum if I want to achieve anything,” he said. Tomorrow is the Nishonoseki rengo keiko and the two other Ozeki are slated to participate as well. “It doesn’t matter who will be there, all I can do is give it my all..” he summed.
