[Moti Dichne]

Yokozuna Oonosato, aiming for his second consecutive yusho, had 11 bouts against Juryo Shirokuma and Makushita Hananoumi at  Nishonoseki beya in Nishi Ward, Fukuoka City on the 31st, finishing with 8 wins and 3 losses. He also had some back-pedaling matches, and expressed dissatisfaction, saying, "It's not very good." With the Nishonoseki Ichimon's joint training session scheduled for the 2nd, he commented, "First, I need to think about how to prepare for the joint training. I'll think about degeiko after that." With a busy schedule including the London koen in October, he commented, "That's quite a bit of time lost. I want to make up for it by training hard." He spent time on basic exercises such as shiko, suriashi, and teppo  explaining his intentions, saying, "It's cold, so I tried to sweat from the core of my body."
